Ayodhya countdown: BJP, RSS, Muslims call for peace

Will accept SC verdict on Ayodhya : State Jamiat

Ahead of the historic Ayodhya Verdict, Assam Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind faction led by Maulana Mustaq Anfar on Saturday said the outfit would accept any verdict, based on facts and evidence.

"We are hopeful that the verdict will be in our favour but even if it is not, we will accept the verdict of the Supreme Court," Anfar asserted.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi late on Friday tweeted about the Supreme Court's likely verdict on Saturday and said that keeping the honour of the judiciary was paramount irrespective of the court's decision.

"Whatever decision of Supreme Court will come on Ayodhya, it will not be a victory or defeat of anyone. My appeal to the countrymen is that it should be the priority of all of us that this decision should further strengthen the great tradition of peace, unity and goodwill of India." Modi added.

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat will address the nation through press conference today at 1 pm in Delhi after the Supreme Court verdict in Ayodhya case. All preparations have been put in place to ensure peace in the entire state of Uttar Pradesh, across the country in general, and Ayodhya in particular.

The All India Muslim Personal Law Board has said that the Supreme Court verdict should be accepted by all and communal harmony should not be disturbed. "Everyone hopes that whatever the verdict, it will be based on evidence and acceptable to everyone. All political parties and religious leaders are also appealing for peace," AIMPLB said.

Meanwhile, News Broadcasters Association says 'no visuals of either celebration or protests' should be aired on TV channels.
