Muslim board to discuss Liberhan report July 12
July 1st, 2009 - 10:31 pm ICT by IANS
Lucknow, July 1 (IANS) 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 convenor 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.
