Ahead of two separate rallies proposed by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and the Shiv Sena in Ayodhya, Babri Masjid litigant Iqbal Ansari has expressed fear for his community, in an interview to The Quint.

Speaking on the issue, Ansari said the Ayodhya dispute must be resolved in a court of law or the Parliament. He questioned the large influx of party workers in his town, ahead of the two planned rallies. Ansari felt that that certain elements were deliberately trying to vitiate the atmosphere in Ayodhya.
