LUCKNOW:
All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has said it would “continue to work under
Rajeev Dhavan’s esteemed leadership,” as has been the case since 1993.
The board said it would file its review petition on Ayodhya verdict after Dhavan’s stamp of approval.
“Rajeev Dhavan has been a symbol of justice and unity,” said board secretary and spokesperson, Maulana Khalid Saifullah Rahmani.
While Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind filed its review plea in SC on Monday, AIMPLB is scheduled to file its petition through individual Muslim litigants based in Ayodhya. An AIMPLB press statement issued on behalf of general secretary Maulana Wali Rahmani, praised Dhavan for courageously and honestly representing Muslim parties in Supreme Court, despite threats and malicious campaigns against him.
“The way he argued the Babri Masjid-Ram Janmbhoomi title suit is praiseworthy. He was abused by a section of people and a filthy campaign was launched in social media, but nothing could deter him. AIMPLB and Muslim community hold him (Dhavan) in highest regard. He has put his heart and soul in this case. The community shall always be indebted to him and assist him in supporting secular values,” the AIMPLB statement said.
A team of senior advocates and advocates, including Yusuf Muchala, Zafaryab Jilani, MR Shamshad, Shakeel A Syed, Irshad Ahmad, Fuzail Ahmad Ayyubi, Nizam Pasha and Tahir Hakeem are currently drafting the review plea on AIMPLB’s behalf. “The draft review petition will then be ‘settled’ (approved) by Rajeev Dhavan,” the board said.
