Twenti-eight people had lost their lives in the police firing at Ayodhya on October 30, 1990. The firing had earned him the nickname of 'Mullah Mulayam' by the Muslim community, which accounts for nearly 20 per cent of the state's population and is considered a force to reckon with by major political parties.
