All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Monday snubbed Art of Living founder Sri Sri Ravi Shankar for mediating the Ayodhya dispute and said he should not indulge in any kite flying.
Speaking to the media, Owaisi said, "All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has clearly stated that they will not accept any such offer. He( Sri Sri Ravishankar) should not indulge in any kite flying."
Asserting that the spiritual leader is no authority to intervene in the matter, Owaisi said, "people who do not even know how to spell the
word "Mughal" are today portraying themselves as their (Mughal) close associates."
As per reports, Ravi Shankar had earlier met representatives of Nirmohi Akhara and AIMPLB to help find an out-of-court settlement to the dispute.
Reacting to Ravi Shankar's initiative, the AIMPLB had said they do not want favour arbitration and the dispute can only be settled through adjudication.
AIMPLB member and Convenor of Babri Masjid Action Committee Zafaryab Jilani denied that any of their authorised representatives met the Art of Living founder.
