New Delhi/UNI: Ahead of the Supreme Court's verdict on the Ayodhya dispute, Minority Affairs Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Tuesday called a meeting of prominent members from the Muslim community and said that under no circumstances should be the fabric of social harmony, brotherhood and unity be broken in the country.

Those present at the meeting appealed to the people of the country to remain cautious of fringe elements who are engaged in a conspiracy to harm the unity and harmony of the society.
"We want to appeal to people to stay cautious of social media because we cannot control it. Nobody should fall prey to fake news and rumours", Allahabad Muslim University Vice Chancellor Tariq Mansoor said.
