By Our Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI, AUG. 28. The All India Muslim Personal Law Board has today categorically stated that the Prime Minister, Mr. A.B.Vajpayee, has not held any discussions on the Ayodhya issue with any significant group of Muslims so far.

In a statement released here today, it was pointed out that during the Prime Minister's recent visit to Lucknow some Shia and Sunni Muslim groups had met him.

But Qazi Maulana Abdus Sami of Kanpur, who led the Sunni delegation had ``vehemently denied'' having had ``any talk on the crucial issue of Ayodhya with the Prime Minister.''
