The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) on June 6 assailed the CBI for adopting dilly-dallying tactics in Babri Masjid demolition case. The board also expressed its displeasure over controversial Central Waqf Bill 2010. The executive committee of the board at its meeting in Aurangabad criticised the agency for not properly tackling the case. Taking cognizance of High Court decision on May 21 letting off senior BJP leaders, including L.K. Advani, in the case, the board urged the Congress-led UPA government to direct the CBI to move Supreme Court in the matter. The High Court upheld the Lucknow CBI court order dropping criminal proceedings against these leaders.
“The Board is quite unhappy with the CBI,” senior advocate and executive committee member Zafaryab Jilani told reporters. He said the board was of the view that CBI was not taking proper interest in the case and the probe agency had thus failed to expedite the issue in the court.
