“We won’t be in any tension regarding this (Ayodhya land dispute verdict),” he told newsmen after inaugurating the South Asian Karate Championship in the capital on Saturday (Nov 9).
Momen said, simultaneously, “We will expect that peace will prevail also in India”.
The minister said the heritage of interfaith harmony in Bangladesh would help keep peace in Bangladesh where “all of us — Muslims, Christians, Hindus and (Buddhists) are living in harmony”.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi while appealing for peace and unity after the verdict said the verdict by the Supreme Court will reaffirm people’s faith in the judicial process.
Indian National Congress in a statement urged all concerned to “abide by the secular values and spirit of fraternity enshrined in our Constitution and to maintain peace and harmony”.
