Zafar Farooqui

The government has granted tax exemption to those contributing to construct the mosque in Ayodhya, for which the Supreme Court had allotted five acres in the Babri Masjid-Ramjanmabhoomi land dispute case, the trust overlooking the project said.

Not everybody was happy when the Supreme Court ruled in favour of building a Ram temple at the disputed Ayodhya site last week, but Uttar Pradesh Sunni Central Waqf Board chairperson Zafar Farooqui remains firm in his decision to not pursue the matter anymore.

Hours after the Uttar Pradesh Sunni Central Waqf Board counsel claimed that it will seek a review of the Ayodhya verdict in light of its "contradictions", the chief of the Islamic statutory body on Saturday clarified that it has no such move in mind.

The Supreme Court Monday directed the Uttar Pradesh government to provide security "forthwith" to the Uttar Pradesh Sunni Central Board of Wakf Chairperson Zafar Ahmed Farooqui as he claimed a threat to his life.
