BSP MP Afzal Ansari has appealed to Muslims to accept the Supreme Court's verdict in the Ayodhya case as going in for review against it will not serve any purpose.
"The country has suffered massive losses because of the Ram Janmbhoomi-Babri Masjid. It is in the national interest that the issue is resolved and basic issues are addressed in the country," Ansari told media persons here on Tuesday night.
His remarks came after the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) on Sunday announced that a review petition will be filed against the SC's verdict.
The AIMPLB, after a meeting in Lucknow, also said that it was against accepting the five-acre alternative land given for a mosque as it "will neither balance equity nor repair the damage caused" and claimed the verdict had several contradictions.
The BSP MP said, "Muslims have no other option but to accept the verdict. Going in for review will serve no purpose."
