>New Delhi, May 12. (PTI): The Centre today claimed before the Liberhan

>Commission that the disputed site in Ayodhya was the birthplace of Lord

>Rama and maintained that the only dispute was whether a temple existed

>there before the construction of mosque.

>

>"It is admitted by one and all that the site in dispute is the Ram

>janamsthan (birthplace of Lord Rama). The only dispute is whether there

>existed a temple which was demolished and a mosque was built," Centre's

>counsel Lala Ram Gupta told the Commission probing the demolition of the

>disputed structure at Ayodhya on December 6, 1992.

>

>Opening the final arguments, he said it was also an undisputed fact that

>the structure was built by Mir Baqi, an army commander of Mughal Emperor

>Babar in 1528.

>

>However, it was clear that the disputed site was the janamsthan. This was

>based on the revenue records and evidence which has come up before the

>commission as well as the White Paper of the Government on Ayodhya.
