The All-India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) on Sunday informed that it had decided to remove Maulana Salman Hasni Nadvi from the board.
"The board reiterated its uncompromising stand on the Babri Masjid issue. Salman Nadvi is still speaking against the Board stand. So the board was left with no other option. The committee has unanimously decided to remove him," said Syed Qasim Rasool Ilyas, AIMPLB member.
Earlier, AIMPLB chairman Zafayb Jilani had said they have handed over the Nadvi case to a board committee.
Sunday is the last day of the AIMPLB's plenary meeting and will end after a big public meet in the evening.
Earlier, talking to the media, Nadvi had threatened to remove Jilani as the Sunni Waqf Board's lawyer.
Responding to this, Jilani said, "He can do whatever he wants. We have been fighting since 1986, the time when he (Nadvi) was not included in the fight (for the Babri Masjid)."
On February 9, Maulana Salman Husaini Nadvi spoke about his meeting with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar where he extended support to the construction of a Ram temple and said that their priority is to join hearts of people.
He also hinted at an out-of-court settlement by saying, "The courts do not join people's hearts as the verdict is always in favour of one and against the other."
On Saturday, Nadvi claimed it was 'permissible' to 'shift' the mosque from the disputed site.
"The atmosphere should be good (between the two communities)... There is permission for this in the Sharia. As per the Hanbali school of (Islamic) thought, a mosque can be shifted," Nadvi said.
Referring to Shankar's issue, Jilani however said that the AIMPLB cannot give the mosque to anyone.
The Ram Janambhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute is a century-old issue between Hindus and Muslims over a piece of land, which is claimed by the former to be the birthplace of Lord Ram and thus should be used for construction of a Ram temple.
The Babri Masjid, built in 1528-29, was demolished by Hindu Karsevaks on December 6, 1992 in Ayodhya, triggering massive riots across the country.
The case is now pending in the Supreme Court.
On Thursday, the three-judge Supreme Court bench fixed March 14 as the next date of hearing in Ayodhya case as some of the documents and translations were yet to be filed before the Supreme Court.
