Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind asks people not to draw hasty conclusions
October 2nd, 2010 - 4:43 pm ICT by IANSNew Delhi, Oct 2 (IANS) Leading Muslim organisation Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind Saturday asked people to practise restraint in their reaction to the Ayodhya verdict and said that, given the sensitivity of the issue, it was not appropriate to take hasty decisions.
“According to the teachings of Quran, we should try to seek the positive out of apparently negative things,” an official statement quoted Rajya Sabha MP and Jamiat leader Maulana Mahmood Madani.
Stressing on avoiding expression of individual stands on this subject, Madani, a Rashtriya Lok Dal MP from Uttar Pradesh, said: “There is need to study the judgment first in detail and hold a meeting of all Muslim groups to make a consensus on future course of action. We are firm to act upon whatever unanimous decision will be taken by them.”
A special three-judge bench of the Allahabad High Court’s Lucknow bench Thursday ruled in a majority verdict that the place where the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya stood, before it was razed by Hindu mobs in 1992, was indeed the birthplace of Hindu god Ram.
It also ruled that the entire disputed land in Ayodhya, a riverside temple town in Uttar Pradesh, should be divided among the Sunni Central Waqf Board, the Ram temple and the Nirmohi Akhara, a Hindu sect and an original litigant in the case.
