Mumbai:
Muslim intellectuals and religious scholars Friday urged the
Muslim community to maintain peace after the judicial gives its
ruling on the Babri mosque title suit Sep 24.
Addressing mediapersons here, activists of the Federation of
Minorities NGOs appealed to Muslims not to get emotionally swayed
by the court ruling and maintain calm at all costs.
"The judgement may favour one community or disfavour another. In
such a case, both communities have the option to appeal. The road
does not end here," said Maulana Zaheer Abaas Rizvi, general
secretary of the All India Shia Personal Law Board,
Another speaker said neither side should make a public show that
offends the other community.
"My request to both communities is simple: please do not celebrate
if the judgement is in your favour or protest if it goes against
you," said Maulana Mehmood Daryabadi, general secretary of All
India Ulema Council.
Other speakers said that individuals who try to create a rift
between the two communities must be boycotted.
Others who spoke on the occasion included Maulana Burhanuddin
Qasmi, director of Markaz ul Maroof, and Iqbal Memon,
vice-president of All India Memon Federation.
Mumbai was engulfed in the worst ever communal riots in its
history following the demolition of the Babri mosque in Ayodhya.
The riots were followed by the March 1993 serial bombings.
