Lucknow, Mar 31: The Babri Masjid Action Committee (BMAC) convenor Zafaryab Jilani has welcomed the decision of the Supreme Court to maintain status-quo in Ayodhya. The apex court's decision has again established the supremacy of law over any vested interest, Jilani told a news agency here today.

“Today's ruling has not just reiterated the secular approach of our judiciary but ensured that law and order in Ayodhya is not breached by trouble-makers'', he said. He also criticised the Centre for being biased in the case by becoming one of the parties. ''The central government's petition to allow the holding of religious activities on the undisputed land was ample proof of its partisan attitude''.

Earlier, the Supreme Court today dismissed the Centre's application seeking vacation of its earlier order directing status quo on the acquired land in Ayodhya. Bureau Report
