Muslim community divided on Ayodhya review petition

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: The review petition on the Ayodhya judgement by the All India Muslim Personal Law board has become a bone of contention for Muslims with one group wanting a review, another against it and third one silent over it. The endorsements for no review of the Ayodhya judgement are circulating on social media with friends, family and associates in the community urging that the ‘three decade-old dispute’ must not be taken any further. But while agreeing that the court order is judicially flawed, we strongly believe that keeping the Ayodhya dispute alive with a review petition will harm and not help Muslims.” The loss of lives and property during the time of the dispute is incalculabe and people need to learn from the bitter experience of communal conflict. In the name of peace and harmony, it is hypocrisy to expect that.” Those who want that every resource of law must still be tried are pushing for it saying that by accepting it, we will be ‘giving up without a try.’ Many in the community, and also non-community friends, are advising Muslims to ‘move on.’ But there are many who state that ‘Let’s move away from the mandir-masjid’ dispute has only helped a communal agenda and replaced the secular-democratic republic of India.’
