"It (mosque) should be built where it is required. It is not required in Ayodhya where people are already worshipping," the Seer told a private TV channel.
Muslims already have eight places of worship in the area and there was no need for any more, he said adding, "They can`t leave the ones they are using to go to another place of worship."

Asked whether Muslims would agree to build a mosque outside the `Panchkosi parikrama`, he said, "Panchkosi is not the issue. Mosque should be built where it is required, where there is a sizeable Muslim population."
To a question if the Muslims agree and the Ayodhya issue is settled will the hindus pull down any mosque in future he replied "koi nahin girayega (nobody will demolish)".
