Earlier, around 100 eminent Muslim personalities including Shabana Azmi and Naseeruddin Shah had opposed the move of challenging the unanimous verdict of the Supreme Court in the decades-long Ayodhya dispute asserting that keeping the matter alive will not help the community.
Some even took to Twitter to say that ” O Lord Rama, please forgive her mistakes and protect Shabana Azmi…No one is greater than Rama Lord!”
O Lord Rama, please forgive her mistakes and protect Shabana Azmi.
We believe that she should not condemn you! Condemnation of Lord Rama is a sin.
Come on, no one is greater in this world than Rama Lord!
So “Jai Shri Ram”

She was rushed to MGM hospital in Navi Mumbai and was undergoing treatment, the police said.
Highway police patrol teams have rushed to investigate the accident site.
Reportedly they were going to Khandala where they have a house towards Khalapur. Azmi was sitting behind the driver.
The incident comes just a day after Javed Akhtar celebrated his 75th birthday in Mumbai.
