Asaduddin Owaisi expresses dissatisfaction over SC verdict on Ayodhya issue

Hyderabad/IBNS:  All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief and Lok Sabha MP Asaduddin Owaisi on Saturday expressed his dissatisfaction over the verdict given by the Supreme Court on the Ayodhya issue and said Indian Muslims were fighting for their legal rights.

He said he is not satisfied with the verdict.

"The Supreme Court is supreme but not infallible," he said.

He said Muslims do not need 5-acre plot as donation.

"We don’t need 5-acre land as donation," he told reporters.

"We the Muslims of India have complete faith in the Indian constitution. We are fighting for our legal rights.  We are fighting for our legal rights," he said.

Speaking further on the  5-acre plot issue, he said, "I personally feel that we should reject the offer."

In a historic judgement to a politically-sensitive Ayodhya case which has been raging for almost 70 years, the Supreme Court on Saturday paved way for the construction of Ram Temple in the disputed 2.77 acres of land in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya dismissing the Sunni Waqf Board's claim to the land. The apex court also directed that a mosque be built over 5 acres in a prominent location.

Amid a tightened security across the nation and particularly in Uttar Pradesh, a five-judge bench headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Ranjan Gogoi asked the Indian government to set up a trust within three months to decide on the disputed Ayodhya land for the Hindus to build a temple, while they asked for a five-acre land for the Muslims to construct a mosque in a prominent alternative location.

Inner and outer land should be given to the trust, the court said in the 70-year-old legal dispute. In a unanimous judgement, the Sunni Waqf Board was given 5 acres of alternate land.

The disputed land now goes effectively in possession of the Indian government.
