We don't need five-acre land as donation, not satisfied with SC verdict, says Owaisi

HYDERABAD: AIMIM president and Member of Parliament Asaduddin Owaisi on Saturday said that he was not satisfied with the apex court's verdict on the Ayodhya land dispute case. According to him, the 'Supreme court is indeed supreme but not infallible.'

"I am not satisfied with the verdict. The Supreme court is indeed supreme but not infallible. We have full faith in the Constitution. We are fighting for our legal rights. We do not need five-acre land as a donation," he said. He added that he concurred with the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) that they were not satisfied with the verdict.

Commenting on the Supreme court's direction to allot five-acre land for the construction of a mosque in Ayodhya, Owaisi said, "We were fighting for our legal right. In my opinion, we should reject this five-acre land offer. Don't patronise us."

The Supreme Court on Saturday directed the Centre to give five acres of suitable land to the Sunni Waqf Board and at the same time make necessary arrangements for the construction of the temple at the site by forming a trust.
