Personal Law Board must appeal against SC order on Ayodhya: Owaisi
Hyderabad, Aug 10
AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi
on Monday said the All India Muslim Personal Law Board must appeal
against the Supreme Court order allowing repair of facilities at
makeshift Ramlala Temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya.
"AIMPLB
must appeal against or implead itself in this particular case," tweeted
the MP from Hyderabad shortly after the apex court order.
Owaisi,
president of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), is also an
executive member of AIMPLB, an apex body of Indian Muslims.
The
Supreme Court on Monday allowed repairing of covers and providing other
facilities at makeshift Ramlala Temple on the disputed Babri Masjid-Rama
Janmabhoomi site.
The court said the exercise has to be
undertaken by district collector of Faizabad under the supervision of
two independent observers.
The apex court on Friday had asked the
central and Uttar Pradesh governments to make available whatever
facilities that could be extended to pilgrims going to Ayodhya to offer
prayers at the disputed site.
A bench of Justice Anil R. Dave and Justice Kurian Joseph had asked both governments to do whatever was necessary
"The
prayer is for some facilities. If you can make these available, then do
it. If possible to do something, do it," Justice Dave had told the
counsel representing the governments.
Uttar Pradesh government,
however, said that all the facilities were being made available to the
pilgrims and none of them were aggrieved.
Uttar Pradesh Advocate General V.B. Singh had told the court that only
the petitioner (BJP leader Subramanian Swamy) is aggrieved.
