Muslim Law Board still open for talks

A day after rejecting the Kanchi Shankaracharya's peace initiative, the All India Muslim Personal Law Board on Monday night said it was still open for 'positive suggestions that would satisfy both parties'.

"We have not shut the doors for negotiations. We are ready to talk with anyone except the Sangh Parivar. We are open to positive and concrete suggestions that would satisfy both parties," Board Convener S Q R Illyas said after a meeting of the organisation's legal committee in New Delhi.

The Board's executive committee had on Sunday rejected the Kanchi Seer's proposal saying they were 'incomplete and inchoate' and did not offer solution to the problem in its entirety.

Meanwhile, the Board's Counsel Ejaz Maqbool said that the organisation would move the Supreme Court on Wednesday seeking status quo at the acquired land adjacent to the disputed site in Ayodhya where the VHP plans to conduct bhoomi pujan on March 15.

The Board would make this request while seeking to 'implead' itself as a party in the two petitions for deployment of army in the temple town and restraining of karsevaks from reaching Ayodhya, he said.
