``It (mosque) should be built where it is required.... It is not required in Ayodhya where people are already worshipping..,'' the seer told NDTV 24X7. Muslims already have eight places of worship in the area and there was no need for more, he said adding ``they can't leave the ones they are using and go to another place of worship''. Asked whether Muslims would agree to build a mosque outside the `panchkosi parikrama', he said ``panchkosi is not the issue. Mosque should be built where it is required, where there is a sizeable Muslim population''. He said, in reply to a question, that if the Muslims agreed and the Ayodhya issue is settled, Hindus will not demolish any mosque ``koi nahin girayega (nobody will demolish)''. When it was pointed out that the VHP was adamant on not giving up claims on Kashi and Mathura, he expressed confidence that it would be resolved with the passage of time. The All India Muslim Personal Law Board which is meeting tomorrow to discuss the seer's fresh proposal on Ayodhya issue said the Sankaracharya's comment would also come up for discussion. The board will discuss ``how much importance it can give to the commitment of the Kanchi seer to ensure compliance from all the parties involved in the dispute''. PTI
