The AIBMAC, which had a meeting here on Wednesday, said the commission's findings about RSS, VHP, BJP, Shiv Sena and Bajrang Dal were historically correct but exonerating Rao in the case was improper.

The committee has also assailed the commission of unnecessarily dragging Muslim organizations in its report.

The All India Muslim Personal Law Board had also blamed the Congress and Rao at its last week meeting here for the demolition of mosque.

"The Muslim leadership including the AIBMAC, also failed to highlight the extremely high-handed and extra legal method adopted half a century ago to install the idols in disputed structure or to open the locks on the gates", the report said.

However the AIBMAC said the comments against Muslim leadership were historically wrong and legally improper.

Jilani said Muslim Reservation Movement (MRM), which also held its meeting today, has asked for reservation to Muslims groups which had been working like scheduled castes. He said MRM has demanded immediate implementation of report of Justice Ranganath Mishra commission. The MRM has planned to hold divisional conferences in January/February 2010 in Sultanpur and Maharajganj. The MRM members would also meeting Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh and AICC chief Sonia Gandhi to press for the acceptance of the demands.
