LUCKNOW: The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) decided on Sunday that it would file a petition seeking review of the Supreme Court's judgement in the Ayodhya case and said it was against accepting the five-acre alternative land given for a mosque. "The land of the mosque belongs to Allah and under the Sharia , it cannot be given to anybody," AIMPLB secretary Zafaryab Jilani told reporters after a meeting of the board here. "The board has also categorically stated that it was against taking five-acre land in Ayodhya in lieu of the mosque. They (idols) cannot be considered as 'araadhya' (eligible for worshipping) even as per Hindu religion. Hence the meeting took place at Mumtaz College, he said.The senior board member, however, could not clarify whether permission was sought from the district administration for holding the meeting at Mumtaz College.
