Congress leader and former minister Tariq Anwar says entire India is looking at the Supreme Court to resolve the Ayodhya land dispute case. The verdict on the issue would be a positive development and people would accept it.

New Delhi: Former Union Minister and Congress leader Tariq Anwar on Wednesday said all eyes are now fixed on the Supreme Court concerning Ayodhya land dispute case with the top court fixing September 18 deadline to complete hearings.

"The way the Chief Justice of India is taking interest in the case asking parties concerned to complete hearings and fixing the deadline for the same makes me believe that it would be done soon," he told ETV Bharat here.

"All eyes are on it. I believe countrymen would accept the decision and it would strengthen their faith in the country's constitution," the Congress leader added.

Earlier in the day, the apex court set the deadline for parties involved in the case to complete hearings by September 18 and also reopened the possibility of mediation to resolve the decades-old temple-mosque dispute if the petitioners so wanted.
