Reacting to Indian Supreme Court's unanimous verdict on Babri Masjid land dispute, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Friday (Nov 15) said he 'wants his masjid back'.
In an interview to Outlook magazine, Asaduddin Owaisi said he will oppose anything that is against India's Constitution and pluralism. "For me, the Constitution is supreme and it gives me the right to disagree respectfully with any SC judgment. I will oppose anything that is against the Constitution," he said.
The Hyderabad MP also tweeted on Friday, "I want my masjid back."

On Nov 9, the Supreme Court of India cleared the way for the construction of a Ram temple at the disputed site at Ayodhya and directed Delhi to allot a five-acre plot to the Sunni Waqf Board for building a mosque.
In a press conference the same day, Asaduddin Owaisi said, "This is a victory of faith over facts."
We asked for justice, not charity.

If a frenzied mob demolishes your house tomorrow & the court decides to award the land your house was built on to the mob who razed down your house, how'd you feel? Would you accept a land somewhere else?

Earlier this week, he again questioned the judgement, saying, "if Babri Masjid was illegal why were LK Advani and others being tried in connection with its demolition."
