Muslims burn Zafaryab Jilani's effigy

Hyderabad, Oct 1 (Hyderabad Deccan News): In violation to the Red Alert in place by the state police, activists of the Majlis Bachao Tehreek burnt an effigy of eminent lawyer Zafaryab Jilani on Friday evening at Azampura Playground. Mr Jilani had represented the Sunni Wakf Board in the Babri Masjid title suit. The verdict of the title suit was delivered by the Allahabad High Court on Thursday. The suit filed by the Sunni Wakf Board was dismissed by the High Court.
According to sources, Mr Jilani was blamed for the verdict going against the interests of the Muslim Community. Some people believe that Mr Jilani had failed to properly argue the case, leading to the defeat.
The activists raised slogans against Mr Jilani and then set the effigy on fire. The alleged MBT activists ran away from the spot within minutes of the protest, fearing the arrival of police on the scene.
By the time the Chadarghat police personnel managed to reach the spot and extinguish the remains of the effigy, the protest left an impact on the onlookers.
The police dispersed the crowd which had gathered to witness the protest.
Meanwhile, the MBT joined the MIM and demanded that an inquiry be ordered against the Mecca Masjid Superintendent and Manager for the preponement of Friday prayers.
MBT Corporator Amjedullah Khalid also demanded that Minority Affairs Minister Ahmedullah Syed resign from his post over the issue.
