After Darul Uloom Deoband, a host of prominent Islamic outfits under the aegis of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) on Sunday appealed to the community to exercise restraint and maintain calm after the September 24 verdict on the Babri Masjid-Ramjanmabhoomi title suit.
The Board's committee on Babri Masjid met here and has also decided to ask the Union government to send out a clear and stern message that it will not tolerate any attempt to disturb law and order. Leaders of the AIMPLB — which is a party to the title suit — said the Muslim outfits would come out with a joint statement on Monday.
The message to the Muslim community was clear —maintain calm and refrain from celebrations or protests after the verdict is delivered. "We want to reiterate that the AIMPLB would respect the court verdict and abide by it. If it is not in favour of us, the option of appeal is always there," convenor of the committee, S Q R Ilyas told The Indian Express.
Ilyas said major Muslim outfits like the Jamiat-ulema-i-hind, Jamaat-e-Islami, All India Milli Council and the All India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat would issue a joint statement underlining the need for maintaining peace. "There should be no jubilation or protests after the verdict. The Centre should also issue a stern warning that it will not tolerate elements who disturb law and order," he added.
After the verdict, the AIMPLB would meet to formulate its response.
