Mohammed Aamir alias Balbir Singh, who had participated in the demolition of the Babari Masjid in Ayodhya and later converted to Islam, on Sunday lashed out at All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi over his 'khairat' remark following the Ayodhya verdict.

The Supreme Court on Saturday pronounced the Ayodhya verdict. In its verdict, the Supreme Court directed the Centre to give five acres of suitable land to the Sunni Waqf Board for the construction of a mosque.

Dissatisfied with the Ayodhya verdict, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi said that the Muslim society struggled for its legal rights and it does not need alms. "We were fighting for our legal right. In my opinion, we should reject this five-acre land offer. Don't patronise us," Asaduddin said.

A day later, Mohammed Aamir reacted to Asaduddin Owaisi's remarks, saying the land which has been given to the Sunni Waqf Board for the construction of a mosque was not "khairat [alms]" but compensation.

On December 1, 1992, Aamir had reached Ayodhya to join thousands of kar sevaks coming from across the country. On December 6 that year, according to Aamir, he was the first man to climb the middle dome. He was also given a hero's welcome when he reached home.

Aamir is married to a Muslim woman and runs a school to spread the teachings of Islam. Mohammed Aamir and Mohammed Umar (another kar sevak who had participated in the demolition) have together built over 100 mosques so far.
