He said that Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Sikh and people from all religious communities are brothers. He added that we should not fight but stay united and love each other.

Ranbir Kapoor had earlier requested the makers of Anjaana Anjaani to postpone its release on September 24, saying that Ayodhya verdict was more important than his film.

The central government is confident that peace will prevail, as almost all political parties and religious groups have said that they would respect the verdict of the court. Moreover, they can approach the Supreme Court if they are not happy with the verdict of the High Court.
