Ayodhya verdict: BS Yeddyurappa confident people will maintain peace

Describing the people of Karnataka as "peace-loving", chief minister BS Yeddyurappa today expressed confidence that they would maintain peace irrespective of the outcome of court verdict on the contentious Ayodhya title suit.

"Everybody would accept the court verdict on the Ayodhya issue and the state has taken all precautions to maintain peace," he said.

In an advisory recently, the Union home ministry asked all states to give "topmost priority" to maintaining law and order in view of the September 24 verdict of Allahabad high court.

Yeddyurappa said the people of Karnataka are "peace loving" and they would maintain peace irrespective of the fact whether the verdict went in favour or against anyone. 

"I am confident that people, irrespective of their caste, would honour the court verdict and would not give room for any confrontation," he said.
