We want Hindus and Muslims of the country to have a good bond and need the blessing of the people of Ayodhya," Iqbal Ansari told ANI on Friday.

He further said that when the verdict on Ram Mandir came it was welcomed by the Muslim community of the nation.

"For the past 70 years, the case was in the Lower Court, High Court, and Supreme Court and on November 9, 2019, the verdict on Ram Mandir came the decision was welcomed by the Muslim community of the nation. After the decision, there was no Dharna, protest or any case," he added.

"The Ram Temple is ready for the Pran Pratishtha ceremony on January 22. My message is that people who are coming to Ayodhya should follow the path of Lord Ram," he added.
