Muslim Law Board to move SC against March 15 puja

The All India Muslim Personal Law Board on Sunday night said it would move the Supreme Court in a day or two to restrain the VHP from carrying out its proposed 'bhoomi puja' plan at the undisputed site in Ayodhya on March 15.

"The Supreme Court order provides for maintaining status quo in the acquired land and the government is duty-bound to enforce it. However, in view of the VHP's repeated threats to carry out the puja at all costs, the board has decided to approach the apex court either on Monday or Tuesday to get a restraining order," board convener S Q R Illyas said.

Following the board's rejection of Kanchi Shankaracharya Jayendra Saraswati's peace formula earlier in the day, VHP international secretary general Pravin Togadia announced that the outfit would go ahead with its March 15 programme of shifting the carved stones to the undisputed site and offer worship.
