"Whatever court verdict comes it has to be honoured, it will be honoured, but before this there is an opportunity for communities to come together to show their magnanimity and settle the dispute out of court. This is my wish that it happens like this, but I'm not doing this on behalf of any government or any organisation or anybody. Many Muslim leaders have been visiting me," he had said.
