The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) rejected a proposal by one of its members Maulana Salman Nadvi who reportedly supports construction of Ram temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya, ruling out any compromise on Babri Masjid.
"Babri Masjid is a Masjid and it shall remain a Masjid till eternity. By demolishing Babri Masjid, it never loses its identity as a Masjid. And according to Shariah, it always remains a Masjid," the Board in a statement said summing up the 26 plenary of the AIMPLB concluded here on Sunday.
President of AIMPLB, Maulana Rabey Hasani Nadvi, presided over the meet which was attended by 400 members and special invitees. The board decided that the fight for reconstruction of Babri Masjid will continue with all the resources available at the disposal of the Board. The country's topmost lawyers will be appearing on behalf of the Muslims and the Board expressed hope that the Supreme Court's judgment will be in favour of the Muslims.
Triple Talaq Issue
The plenary said that the Talaq-e-Biddat bill moved by the central government is anti-women. The board believes that the Bill will create more difficulties for women. "It is against Shariah and it is against the Constitution. The Board will continue to stop this bill in the Rajya Sabha". The Board will start a country-wide awareness campaign against this Bill and will also coordinate with the opposition parties which are opposing the Bill. Country-wide, women's empowerment meetings will also be held.
No interference in Sharia will be tolerated
The Board also said that Muslims will not accept any amendments or any proposals for amendments in the Shariah. India is a secular, democratic country which allows the Muslims and other communities to practice their religion according to their religious laws and customs.

The Board decided to take up campaigns to create awareness among the masses and, in particular, among the Muslims, as how the present government, under the garb of Talaq bill, wants to put restrictions on the Muslims.
