New Delhi, Dec. 7 -- Amid the Babri Masjid controversy that erupted after suspended TMC MLA Humayun Kabir laid the foundation stone of the Mosque in West Bengal's Murshidabad, All India Imam Association President Maulana Sajid Rashidi on Sunday said that naming a Mosque after Mughal emperor Babur is not unconstitutional.

Speaking to ANI, Rashidi said, "The Constitution runs the country, not the Geeta or the Quran. The Constitution grants the right to construct places of worship. If a mosque is being built in the name of Babur, Jahangir or Akbar, it is not unconstitutional. When the court gave a decision in Ayodhya, the Muslims were silent. But that doesn't mean that creating a masjid named after Babur anywhere is now unconstitutional." ...
