Deferment
will prolong Ayodhya issue: Owaisi

Hyderabad:
Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi Thursday apprehended that further
deferment of the Ayodhya verdict's pronouncement by the Allahabad
High Court would unnecessarily prolong the issue.
Ruling out any compromise on the matter, Owaisi said the people of
the country have the right to know the truth.
"Where is the question of compromise when both the parties have
already ruled out the same," asked Owaisi, reacting to the Supreme
Court deferring the Ayodhya verdict till Sep 28.
The Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) chief told IANS that the
deferment was unnecessary as it served no purpose and would, in
fact, prolong the issue. "Our fear is that if Justice Dharam Veer
Sharma (of the high court) retires before the verdict is
pronounced, the issue will again get prolonged," Owaisi said.
Justice Sharma, one of the three judges of the Lucknow bench of
the Allahabad High Court that is to give its ruling on the Ayodhya
verdict, is retiring on Oct 1. Legal experts say that if the
verdict is not pronounced before his retirement, the hearing would
have to take place all over again.
"This issue is going on for 50 to 60 years. The people of this
country have a right to know what is the truth," Owaisi, a
barrister, contended.
He felt that the Supreme Court deferring the verdict was
unnecessary, especially when the Muslim Personal Law Board and
others have already stated that the verdict would be acceptable to
them.
Asked if Muslims would approach a larger bench of the Supreme
Court against the deferment, Owaisi said it was for the Muslim
Personal Law Board to take a decision.
"But I think since there are only
four days for the next hearing we should wait and see," the MP
added.

Due to the threats of riot and
terror attacks, the festive season in India
nowadays results in sleepless nights for the security
personnel.
Against this backdrop, the show of communal harmony in Malegaon by Ajantha Mandal cannot be more timely. The Mandal
in a large hoarding portrays the real picture of the Muslim
dominated textile town in North Maharashtra. It shows,
Malegaon is where Azan in a Masjid and Shunkh
in a Mandir go simultaneously. To further make its point,
the Mandal plays communal harmony songs on a cassette-player
in its full sound.
