Lucknow: Rejecting the perception that it would stick to only a court-brokered solution to the Ayodhya tangle, All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) on June 15 said it would consider any worthwhile proposal to resolve the vexed issue.

"Though the matter is in the court and we have made it clear that we shall abide by the court verdict, if a good proposal comes to us from any quarter, we shall consider it," AIMPLB president and noted Islamic scholar Maulana Hasan Naqvi told reporters in Lucknow.

The Maulana denied the temple issue was discussed during his recent meeting with the Shankaracharya of the Kanchi Peeth Jayendra Sarswathi.

"The Shankaracharya had come to inquire about my health we did not discuss the temple issue, though he said he had some proposal to resolve the dispute," Naqvi said.

"I asked him to send his proposals in writing," he said adding that so far he had not received any thing from the Shankaracharya.

"If any written proposal comes, I shall refer it to the (AIMPLB) working committee which will consider it," the Maulana said.

Naqvi reacted sharply to the statement by the Shahi Imam of Jama Masjid Syed Ahmed Bukhari that AIMPLB would not be all saying Bukhari was in the habit of making "irresponsible remarks."
