Indian Muslim News - BABARI MASJID

The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) announced that it would be holding its executive body meeting at Kozhikode in Kerala July 12. The AIMPLB also said that its members would discuss the Liberhan Report on Babri Masjid demolition during the meet. Maulana Khalid Rasheed Firangi Mahali, a senior board member, said that 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. The report would least of all, expose the role of several political leaders behind the demolition. The report on the 1992 Babri Masjid demolition by the Liberhan Commission, which was formed 17 years ago, was submitted on 7th July 2009 to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. AIMPLB legal adviser Zafaryab Jilani, Convener of the erstwhile Babri Masjid Action Committee (BMAC), reacting to the Liberhan Report presentation said that all those who were responsible for the demolition should be punished. "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," Jilani said. It may be noted that 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.
