Hyderabad, Nov 10 (TIWN) If Babri Masjid was illegal, then why Advani is being tried for its demolition and if it was legal then why Advani is getting the land, asked All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi.

"If a person demolishes your house and if you go to an arbitrator and he gives your house to the person who demolished it and tells you that you will be given an alternate land at some other place, how'd you feel," he asked. 

Owaisi said that his basic question is that why Advani and others who demolished Babri Masjid were being tried if the mosque was illegal. "If Babri Masjid was legal, then how can Advani get the land," he asked while reacting to the Supreme Court giving the land for construction of the Ram temple. 

Owaisi slammed those criticising him for not accepting the judgment, saying he has a democratic right to oppose it. The MP alleged that Muslims were insulted by offering them five acres of alternate land.  "Babri Masjid is our legal right. We were not fighting for the land. We don't want anything in charity. Don't treat us like beggars. We are respected citizens of this country," he said.
