Lucknow:
The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) Wednesday said its
members would discuss the Babri Masjid probe report in its executive
body meet at Kozhikode July 12.
"Even though the (Liberhan) Commission has
taken 17 years instead of three months to submit its report, we
would still like to know what the report has to say about the
martyrdom of the 16th century Babri Masjid", senior board member
Maulana Khalid Rasheed told IANS here.
The report on the 1992 Babri Masjid demolition
by the Liberhan Commission, which was formed 17 years ago, was
submitted Tuesday to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
Rasheed
said, "Since our next meeting is due at Calicut in the next 10 days,
all members of the Muslim Personal Law Board would naturally like to
take a decision on that report at the meet."
Rasheed,
who was also Lucknow Idgah's Naib Imam and head of a three and a
half century old seminary Firangi Mahal, hoped, "The report would
least of all, expose the role of several political leaders behind
the demolition".
AIMPLB
legal adviser Zafaryab Jilani who has been convener of the erstwhile
Babri Masjid Action Committee (BMAC) wants "punishment" for all
those who were responsible for the demolition.
Jilani has been closely associated
with the legal aspects of the issue being dealt with simultaneously
by a special trial court as well as the Allahabad High Court.
Jilani urged the Muslim law panel to
ask the prime minister to take a decision on the report within three
months after it is tabled before the parliament. "I hope the
government does not waste any time in placing the report before the
parliament now," he said.
