All India Muslim Personal Law Board member Zafaryab Jilani on Wednesday opposed the first architectural plan to build a mosque in Uttar Pradesh’s Ayodhya city, saying it was against the Waqf Act and “illegal” under the Shariat or Islamic law, PTI reported.
The architectural plan for the project was released on December 19 by the Indo-Islamic Cultural Foundation, a trust formed by the Uttar Pradesh government and the State Sunni Central Waqf Board. The blueprint showed the design of a mosque and a hospital that will be built on the five-acre land allotted in Dhannipur village of Ayodhya, 29 years after the demolition of Babri Masjid. Besides this, a community kitchen and a modern library will also be set up in the complex.

Lucknow, Dec 23: All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) member Zafaryab Jilani said on Wednesday said the mosque which is planned to come up in Ayodhya following last year s Supreme Court verdict was against the Waqf Act and illegal under the Shariat laws.
Athar Hussain, the secretary of a trust formed to build the mosque in Ayodhya, however, said everyone interprets the Shariat in their own way and when the land has been allotted under the directive of the Supreme Court, it cannot be illegal.
The blueprint of the mosque and a hospital to be built on a five-acre land in Ayodhya s Dhannipur village was unveiled on Saturday at the Indo-Islamic Cultural Foundation (IICF) office in Lucknow.
Zafaryab Jilani, the executive member of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) and convenor of the Babri Masjid Action Committee (BMAC), has said the proposed mosque at Dhannipur in Ayodhya, the blueprint of which was launched three days back, was against the Waqf Act and also against Shariat. Jilani, while talking to reporters, said the proposed mosque violates the Waqf Act because mosques or land of mosques cannot be bartered. It also violates Sharia law because the Waqf Act is based on Shariat, he added. He said that at a meeting of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board s executive committee held on October 13, the issue was raised by AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi.
