Hence, it is the responsibility of every citizen to honour the judgment of the court and maintain peace.” “My appeal is to every imam of various mosques to make appeal that Muslims need not to feel afraid, but they should repose faith in country’s Constitution and judiciary, and whatever the judgment comes, we should honour it,” he said.
