Lucknow, October 08, 2010
The president of Jamiat Ulema Hind (JUH) Maulana Mahmood Madni on Friday called up on the Muslim community to accept the High Court verdict in Babri Masjid-Ramjanam Bhoomi case. The Maulana, heading one of the biggest organizations of Ulema (clerics) in the country, told Hindustan Times on Friday that the Muslim community should coolly think over the issue and accept the judgment.
The acceptance of the verdict would be in larger interest of the nation, Muslim community and especially for next generation. Madni said by quickly sorting out conflicting issues, the community should try to move ahead. He said the construction of places of worship of both communities at the place in Ayodhya would vastly improve the image of the country.
However Madni said it was his personal view as the working committee of JUH would meet October 19 to discuss the matter and take a final view.
He said during the last few days various views had come out in the community. While one group wanted appeal in the Supreme Court, another had asked for out of court settlement. But there was a third group in the community, which wanted to hand over one-third land, awarded by the High Court, either under protest or happily.
“People are talking differently on the issue”, Madni said, adding now the solution should be peaceful. He said the community should ponder over the problems of next generation so that it could progress and prosper.
Even before JUH takes up his views for discussion on October 19, he is likely to raise it at the working committee meeting of All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) in Lucknow on October 16. There are dissenting views in the AIMPLB over the verdict and one group has been insisting on out-of-court compromise. The legal committee of the board will meet tomorrow in Delhi to discuss the verdict and make suggestions to the AIMPLB working committee.
The JUH, known for prominent role in freedom movement, had always taken moderate views of the contentious problem. The JUH had last year issued a fatwa against terrorism. The organization has now summoned a conference of Ulema on Kashmir on October 10 in Deoband to make suggestions to sort out the vexed problem.

Muslims by now ought to have no doubt that the Hindus wish to construct a grand temple at the birth-place of Lord Ram. While there may be arguments about whether a particular spot can now, after all these ages, be identified as the very spot Ram was born, it is a fact that Hindus have opposed Babri masjid right from the time it was built supposedly by destroying a temple, which masjid was called Masjid Janmasthan even in the Mughal period. Therefore adding up the fact that Hindus wish to build a temple at that spot and the fact that Babri masjid was always opposed by the Hindus, there would be no solution to the problem except for the Muslims to give up all claims to a Babri Masjid in Ayodhya. If Muslims consider such a withdrawal an unacceptable surrender to Hindus, then in all probability matters would lead to a situation of long drawn strife between both communities and it is not difficult to see that Muslims would lose out.
