Lucknow:
Muslim religious leaders Sunday joined their Hindu counterparts in
opposing any further postponement of the Allahabad High Court’s
verdict on the Babri Masjid-Ramjanmabhoomi issue, noting both
sides have reposed faith in the court’s decision.
“Isn’t the issue already pending for too long? Sure enough we also
want that the dispute reaches its logical conclusion for which we
have reposed complete faith in the country’s judiciary,” said
Maulana Khalid Rasheed, the Naib Imam of Lucknow’s Idgah and a
member of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB)
executive.
“As a member of the Muslim Personal Law Board, I would also like
to urge the Supreme Court not to allow any further delay in the
high court’s verdict and I am sure the court will not ignore the
popular sentiments of the people,” the Maulana told IANS here.
Maulana Mirza Mohammad Athar, president of the All India Shia
Muslim Personal Law Board also wondered how any last-minute effort
for an amicable settlement would bear fruit when similar attempts
in the past had failed.
The prestigious Darul-uloom of Deoband also appealed against any
delay in the verdict, with its Pro-Vice Chancellor Maulana Abdul
Khaliq Madrasi saying: “It is high time the long pending issue was
resolved and any further deferment of the final verdict would only
vitiate the atmosphere.”
“For once, both sides had clearly stated that they would abide by
the court order, then why all the fuss about postponing the
verdict and making attempts to resolve the dispute through
dialogue, which has not worked in the past,” Maulana Madrasi asked
while speaking to IANS on the phone from Deoband.
A three-judge Supreme Court bench headed by Chief Justice S.H.
Kapadia would Sep 28 take a final decision on the question on when
the verdict, originally slated for Sep 24, would be delivered.

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.
