All India Muslim Personal Law Board Declines To Accept 5 Acres Land For Mosque In Ayodhya [Read Statement]
Live LawThe All India Muslim Personal Law Board has decided to reject the 5 acres land proposed to be allotted to it for building a mosque in Ayodhya. Accordingly, on behalf of the Muslim community, we decline to accept the said 5 acres of land to be allotted in terms of judgment dated 09/11/2019," AIMPLB said. The Board also said that it had contested the Ayodhya Land Title Dispute case to "secure" the fundamental values of the Constitution viz., "acceptance of equality of all religious faiths" and that the same could not be compensated by allotting an alternate land. "We expect, the system would recognize equal rights of the Muslim Community in various fields including for protection of our religious structures, graveyards, educational institutions and more importantly eviction and use of all the Wakf properties that have been unauthorizedly occupied by different people/entities including the government instrumentalities."
