Iraq's top cleric issues fatwa against Ram Mandir
Iraq's top Shi'ite cleric Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani has issued a fatwa against the construction of Ram Mandir on property belonging to the Waqf Board. The cleric said Babri Masjid was built by a Shi'ite ruler. However, UP Shia Waqf Board Chairman Waseem Rizvi slammed the fatwa saying there was a temple which was razed for the construction of the mosque.
