A Jain body today staked claim to the disputed site in Ayodhya, saying the demolished structure was built on the remnants of an ancient Jain temple which would be proved during excavation to be carried out by the ASI.

‘‘The only structure that could be found during excavation would be a 6th Century Jain temple,’’ Jain Samata Vahini, a social organisation of the Jains, said in a statement.

The demolished disputed structure was actually built on the remnants of an ancient Jain temple, and the excavation by the ASI, ordered by the Allahabad High Court to settle the Babri Masjid-Ramjanmabhoomi dispute, would prove it, general secretary of Jain Samata Vahini Sohan Mehta said.

‘‘We want the site to be handed over to us in case a Jain temple is found,’’ he said, adding the national executive of the Vahini on March 6 decided to stake claim to the disputed site.
