Muslim group opposes film on Ayodhya, writes to Censor Board
Aurangabad (Maharashtra ), Nov 23: A Muslim organisation in Maharashtra has opposed the release of a Hindi film on the Ayodhya issue and urged the Censor Board to withhold clearance, saying it is intended to create hatred in the society.
The film, "Ram Janmabhoomi", has been written and produced by Shia Waqf Board Chairman Syed Waseem Rizvi.
Rizvi had released the trailer of the film, which chronicles the events during the Ram Temple movement since October 30, 1990.
The Maharashtra Muslim Awami Committee (MMCA) has taken strong objection to the release of the trailer, saying the film deals with a subject which is sub-judice (the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid case is in the Supreme Court).
Committee president Iliyas Kirmani claimed the film is intended to create hatred in the society.
"We have given a memorandum to the Censor Board. The film contains controversial issues of Islam like Halala and triple talaq, besides the demolition of (Babri) masjid (in Ayodhya in 1992)," he told PTI Friday.
"We oppose this as we have seen the trailer and foresee possibilities of unrest in the society if the film is released. We demand that the release of the film should be cancelled as it may lead to breach of peace and create law and order problem in the country," Kirmani said.
He said the Censor Board or the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) should stall the movie's release in national interest and to preserve peace and harmony.
A copy of the memorandum has also been sent to Chief Minister of Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis, he said.
Rizvi, a strong votary of Ram Temple in Ayodhya, had said in Lucknow a few days ago that no particular community has been targeted in the film.
The film, directed by Sanoj Misra, is slated to release in December-end.

New Delhi (PTI): The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced a detailed assessment scheme for Class 10 exams in the Middle East region which were cancelled amid escalating West Asia conflict, according to officials.
The exams were cancelled following a critical review of the prevailing situation across Bahrain, Iran, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
According to CBSE Examination Controller Sanyam Bhardwaj, examinations scheduled from February 17 to 28 were conducted successfully. During this period, six academic subjects, including Mathematics, English and Science, were completed. Additionally, 16 language papers and 22 skill subject examinations were also conducted.
The board has divided candidates into five categories -- students who appeared in all examinations, students who appeared in four examinations, students who appeared in three examinations, students who appeared in two examinations and private students registered under the compartment category.
"The results of students who appeared for all exams will be declared based on their performance in the examinations. The result of students who appeared in four subjects will be declared based on the average of the marks obtained in the best three performing subjects for the subjects whose examinations have not been conducted," Bhardwaj said.
"The result of students who appeared in three subjects will be declared based on the average of the marks obtained in the best two performing subjects for the subjects whose examinations have not been conducted," he added.
The examination controller explained that very few students have appeared in the examinations in only two subjects.
"Their results will be declared based on the average of the marks of two subjects in the remaining subject," he said.
The results of Middle East students will be declared along with the rest of the students. Students will be allowed to improve their performance through the second board examinations according to policy.
