Kanchi Acharya's new proposals

Lucknow June 17. In a fresh bid to resolve the Ayodhya tangle, the Kanchi Sankaracharya, Sri Jayendra Saraswati, has sent new proposals to the All-India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB).

"Though the Kanchi Acharya's formula has not yet reached us, we have been told by sources close to him that the formula is on its way," the AIMPLB vice-president and Shia cleric, Maulana Kalbe Sadiqu, told PTI here today.

He said the proposals had been sent by courier and were likely to reach them within a day or two.

The Shia leader said he had sought postponement of the meeting of the Babri panel scheduled to be held in New Delhi on June 21 to enable the Board members to go through the proposals.

Maulana Sadiqu claimed that the AIMPLB chairman and Islamic scholar, Maulana Rabe Hasan Nadvi, had agreed to postpone the meeting of the Babri panel.

Once received, the proposals would be referred to the Board's working committee for consideration and taking a suitable decision.

Mr. Nadvi had said recently that the board was open to any worthwhile proposal to resolve the dispute.
