IICF hails SC judgment on plea for summoning of Trust documents

Ayodhya: The Indo-Islamic Cultural Foundation (IICF), which is at the helm of Dhannipur mosque project in Ayodhya, has welcomed the Supreme Court judgment that dismissed the plea seeking summoning of documents related to the formation of the Trust.

The bench of Justice DY Chandrachud and Justice BV Nagarathna had on Monday dismissed the plea seeking summoning of the Trust deed of IICF, constituted by the Sunni Central Waqf Board. Talking to TOI, IICF president Zufar Farooqui said, “The apex court has upheld the spirit of 2019 Ayodhya verdict which settled the old dispute.”

“The idea of IICF Trust is to move towards the future and bury the past of turmoil and hatred. We will work to give an impetus to this idea with a hospital, community kitchen and a museum to showcase the First War of Independence of 1857 and the struggle for the mosque,” IICF secretary Athar Husain said.

IICF is developing a mosque-hospital project which will be named after freedom-fighter and revolutionary, Maulvi Ahmadullah Shah Faizabadi, who laid down his life during the first war of Independence (1857) in Awadh.
