Lucknow, July 05: Reacting sharply to Kanchi Shankaracharya Jayendra Saraswati's comments that there was no need for a new mosque in Ayodhya, Muslim bodies today said the mosque should be built at the original site. "This proposal is rejected outrightly by us... Muslims do not want to construct mosque at any other place. It will be built at the original site only", All India Babri Masjid Action Committee Convenor Zafaryab Jilani told a news agency. Asserting that Muslims do not recognise 'Panchkosi Parikrama', he said there are several mosques in the area and asked "will they be demolished".
The All India Muslim personal law board which is meeting tomorrow to discuss the seer's fresh proposal on Ayodhya issue said the Shankaracharya's comment would also come up for discussion, the board spokesman Maulana Sajjad Nomani said.

The board will discuss "how much importance it can give to the commitment of the Kanchi seer to ensure compliance from all the parties involved in the dispute", he said. Bureau Report
