A general body meeting of the AIMPLB on February 10-11, where over 500 people participated took a unanimous decision was made to remove Nadvi from the Board.
Nadvi had triggered a row on the eve of the plenary by mooting a proposal after his meeting with Sri Sri Ravishankar that the disputed land in Ayodhya, where the Babri Masjid stood till December 1992, should be handed over for the construction of the Ram temple.
Firebrand All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi alleged that Nadvi was acting at the behest of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to create rift in the AIMPLB.
He also called for social boycott of those calling for giving up Babri Masjid.
