New Delhi:
Muslim groups Tuesday welcomed the Supreme Court decision to allow
the Allahabad High Court to deliver its verdict on the Ayodhya
dispute.
The Darul Uloom Deoband, one of the country's leading Muslim
seminaries based in Uttar Pradesh, told IANS that any delay in
pronouncing the verdict would have "only vitiated communal peace
and harmony and generated an atmosphere of mistrust".
"The issue has lingered on for the last sixty years… it is time
the matter is sorted out," said Maulana Abdul Khaliq Madrasi, a
teacher at the seminary.
The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) also reacted
similarly.
Welcoming the apex court decision, board member and legal convenor
Zafaryab Jilani said: "We are hopeful that the Lucknow bench of
the Allahabad High Court will be able to deliver the judgment by
Oct 1."
"This will be good for all," he said.
Maulana Niaz Ahmed Farooqi of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind, one of the
oldest Muslim organisations in the sub-continent, said the Supreme
Court decision would help "in doing away with the uncertainty that
hovers around the dispute".
"Lingering on the dispute would have made it more complicated...
It would have disturbed the peace... People have prepared their
mind for the high court decision and they are ready to hear that,"
Farooqi said.

Due to the threats of riot and
terror attacks, the festive season in India
nowadays results in sleepless nights for the security
personnel.
Against this backdrop, the show of communal harmony in Malegaon by Ajantha Mandal cannot be more timely. The Mandal
in a large hoarding portrays the real picture of the Muslim
dominated textile town in North Maharashtra. It shows,
Malegaon is where Azan in a Masjid and Shunkh
in a Mandir go simultaneously. To further make its point,
the Mandal plays communal harmony songs on a cassette-player
in its full sound.
