Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind (Mehmood Madani faction) voiced its concern over the sudden change of counsel in Supreme Court by UP Sunni Central Waqf Board, pleading in Ayodhya title suit case.
The outfit demanded that the Sunni Waqf Board maintain transparency in its affairs and refrain from entering into any secret deal with the government or opposite parties.
Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind state chief Maulana Matinul Haq Kasmi said on Wednesday, “Even as the Supreme Court is hearing the Ayodhya title suit on a daily basis, the sudden change of counsel pleading in the case for several years by Sunni Waqf Board raises doubts on its integrity. Doubts are being created in the minds of the people that the Sunni Waqf Board has made some secret deal.”
“If out-of-court settlement of the dispute through mediation is possible we will welcome it but Muslims will never accept a resolution through a secret deal with the RSS and its affiliates. I would urge the Sunni Waqf Board to efficiently pursue the matter in the Supreme Court,” Kasmi said.
The Maulana said that the JuH had full faith in judiciary and the rule of law prevailed in India where everyone, irrespective of caste and religion, could approach the judiciary and place his viewpoint. 
On August 30, JuH chief Maulana Mehmood Madani had held a long meeting with RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat at Keshav Kunj in Delhi, a day before the draft of National Register of Citizens (NRC) of Assam was published.
“It was a completely non-political discussion between leaders of two non-political outfits. Bhagwatji listened to what I had to say on the current situation and I am happy that he agreed to most things,” Madani had said after the 90-minute meeting.
Maulana Madani later downplayed the significance of the NRC saying, “It has affected both Hindus and Muslims and there is no controversy over that issue.”
Madani had also supported the Narendra Modi government’s decision for abrogation of Article 370 and division of Jammu and Kashmir into two Union territories. He asserted that Jammu and Kashmir was an integral part of India and Parliament was a sovereign body competent to legislate on the state.
