Mazhari said he has received many reactions from the community after the judgment, and most of them were disappointed.
"Personally, I don't see the judgment as the end of the road. I think if the Sunni Waqf Board would have won the entire case then our community would have suffered more. I strongly believe a large number of Muslims are fed up of the Babri mosque issue and we want to move ahead," Mazhari said.
"Most Muslims were thinking that there was 99 per cent chance that the Ayodhya judgment will favour the waqf board. That's why we are feeling disappointed. This verdict is the most unexpected. We have no choice but to keep calm. What Allah does is, always, good for the community. As I said, there was more danger in store for us if we would have won the Ayodhya case."
After debating the judgment and consoling himself, Mazhari said, "This judgment reads less legal and more political. But we expect that this will, at least, keep us safe. Is desh mein mohabbat se rehna hai (we want to live with love in the country). Muslims should console themselves that this judgment assures us that our country won't break up."
Finally, he said, "I believe this judgment is not the best but good enough to carry on with life. Surely, Muslim leaders will take it to the Supreme Court. I also agree with the view that the Bharatiya Janata Party will lose the issue of Ram temple and the people will forget it in a few months. This grants us a chance to get on with our lives. Before and now, we always knew Ayodhya is all about politics."
