Muslim Board deliberates on Ayodhya issue, LS polls

The Ayodhya issue and the Lok Sabha polls were among the matters discussed at the meeting of the All India Muslim Law Board (AIMPLB), an apex body of Muslims in the country, here on Sunday.

According to sources, issues concerning the Muslim community topped the agenda during the meeting at Nadwa-tul-Ulema.

None of the members of the Board spoke to the media after the meeting, that lasted for around three hours.

Issues like the triple talaq and strengthening 'darul kaza' (Shariat courts) were also discussed by the members, sources said.

Sources said that the Ram Janambhoomi-Babri Masjid issue was also discussed at the meeting. Representatives of different Muslim parties in the dispute were also present there.

The meeting, which was chaired by Board chairman Maulana Rabe Hasani Nadwi, also deliberated on the prevailing political situation in the country.

The meeting assumes significance in the wake of the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls. The Board, which is the highest decision-making body of Muslims in the country, wields considerable influence over the community.
