Maulana Salman Nadvi again bats for shifting of Babri Masjid from Ayodhya
New Delhi: Prominent Islamic Scholar Maulana Salman Nadvi, who earlier initiated talks with Sri Sri Ravi Shanker to resolve the disputed Ayodhya issue through mediation and proposed to shift Babri Masjid, has once again said that there are clauses in Islam that allow shifting Masjids in Islam.
On Friday, when the Apex Court referred the Ayodhya dispute case for mediation and appointed a three-member body, Maulana once again added that Muslims should shift Masjid elsewhere from Ayodhya. He also added that prominent personalities like Ram should be respected by everyone and Ram Mandir should be allowed to be built in Ayodhya.
Maulana added that the move to shift Masjid will let peace prevail between the communities.
He cited instance from history when the second ‘Khaleefa’ of Islam Umar had shifted a Masjid to make space for a dates’ business center.
“If the case is contested in Court, one party will win and the other will lose. The winning party will pretend to be dominating while the other might feel inferior which will further disrupt peace between the two parties or communities. But if the issue can be resolved through mediation than relations between the two parties and communities will improve” he said will speaking to NDTV.
“It is for the betterment of our country. And for the cause of instilling unity between two communities we should shift the Masjid elsewhere” he further noted.
Maulana Salman Nadvi is a professor at Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama, Lucknow and was a member of All India Muslim Personal Law Board. He was later expelled from the Board after he initiated talks with Ravi Shanker and urged Muslims to shift the Masjid elsewhere while expressing his views on the issue.
Supreme Court on Friday ordered mediation in the case and formed a committee of three members headed by Justice Kalifulla. The committee includes Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and senior lawyer Sriram Panchu and will meet in Faizabad in a closed room meetings. The SC has allotted a eight-week time for the committee to mediate the case and has asked it to submit report to SC after four weeks on progress.
All the proceedings and information of mediation will be kept confidential and will not be made available for media or any other institution.

Real Madrid fines Valverde and Tchouaméni half a million euros each for altercation
Barcelona (AP): Real Madrid slapped players Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni with half-a-million-euro ($588,000) fines on Friday for their altercation during practice.
The massive fines came a day after the midfielders tussled when the team trained. Valverde said in a post on social media on Thursday that no punches were thrown. But Valverde knocked his head on a table and he suffered a small cut that required a brief hospital visit.
On social media, Valverde initially called it a “meaningless fight” with a teammate and said “everything has been blown out of proportion."
His employers, however, considered it a significant enough breach of team discipline to nail both Valverde and Tchouaméni with fines that bite even the bank account of a top soccer player. The half-a-million euro penalties reflect the reputational damage the club was enduring in a chaotic end to a disappointing season.
In a statement, the 15-time European champion said its disciplinary action was concluded after both players expressed to the club “their complete remorse for what happened and apologized to one another.”
Madrid added they also apologized to their teammates, the coaching staff and club supporters, as well as showing their willingness to accept whatever disciplinary action the club deemed “opportune.”
Tchouaméni was back training with Madrid on Friday, two days before they play at Barcelona in a clasico. Madrid has to win otherwise Barcelona will be crowned La Liga champion.
After being notified of the fine, he posted a public apology to the club and its fans on social media.
“What happened this week in training is unacceptable,” Tchouaméni wrote. "I say this while thinking about the example we are expected to set for young people, whether in football or at school.
“Above all, I am sorry for the image we projected of the club.”
Valverde was not at practice due to the head knock.
Both players are set to play in the World Cup next month, with Tchouaméni playing for France and Valverde for Uruguay.
Chaotic end to a poor season
===================
The run-in between the players, who for seasons have played side by side in Madrid's midfield, came after they argued this week in previous training sessions. But tempers boiled over on Thursday. Spanish media was rife with reports that the players previously disagreed over the club's decision to let coach Xabi Alonso go after just months on the job.
It was not the only altercation involving Madrid players during training this week. Álvaro Carreras confirmed he was in a “minor” incident with a teammate. Spanish media said he and fellow defender Antonio Rüdiger got into a scuffle.
Álvaro Arbeloa, the coach who was promoted from Madrid's reserve team when Alonso was fired in January, will face tough questions on what went wrong inside the changing room when he gives a press conference on Saturday ahead of the clasico at Camp Nou.
Madrid is facing a second consecutive campaign without a major trophy amid rumors in the Spanish media that club president Florentino Pérez is considering bringing back Jose Mourinho to straighten out his underperforming team.
