With prominent Muslim organisations like All-India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) and UP Sunni Central Waqf Board yet to take a decision on the Supreme Court’s judgement asking the government to give 5 acres of land for construction of a new mosque, a section has demanded that an Islamic university should be set up along with the mosque.
A group of Muslim clerics, who met Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, suggested setting up of an Islamic university along with the mosque in Ayodhya. The clerics also congratulated the Chief Minister for maintaining peace and harmony after the Ayodhya verdict.
The CM asked the clerics to assist the government in maintaining communal harmony and reiterated that the government would not tolerate any nuisance. He said he would not allow any discrimination in the society and Muslims would get benefits of all the government welfare schemes.
During the meeting, Maulana Salman Hussain Nadvi demanded an Islamic university along with the mosque in Ayodhya.
Yogi, who has visited Ayodhya 18 times during his regime, is expected to visit the Ramjanmabhoom again soon, sources said on Tuesday.
