Once again, nation on alert on the eve of 6th December, the day when a historical Mosque was brought down by the powers and by the organizations who intend to implement their own curriculum on India. Secular India remained always hurdle in their eyes. Believing on secular systems and understanding of other communities’ rights to live freely in India are not in their dictionary. They have other vision for India.
Accepting their vision will allow people of India to live in their own Hindutva constituted India and stern consequences for those who will oppose it, as it seen in Gujarat, in Ayodhya, in Bangalore, in Maharashtra, in Orissa. Even in Maharashtra assembly, when Mr. Abu Asim Azami was attacked for taking oath in Hindi which is national language.
From last few weeks, so many events and incidents came in light. Liberhan report was leaked and exposed half truths. UPA government’s reaction on Liberhan report and unwillingness to take action against those who were indicted in Liberhan report shows that everyone in this hammam is naked. It was hoped that central government will react similarly when the matter will come for punishment of those who openly played their role in this game. Providing shelter to powerful perpetrators or assisting them through political manipulations is an old system of Indian politics. Here is the proof that when saffron fascist powers were found waging the war against the country, political parties and media were the first to come forward to defend them or to cover them by hiding the truth.
It is known to everyone that, destroyers of Babri Mosque will not be punished. May the court deliver its judgment against them, but the result after 17 years is before us, planners and demolishers are openly moving in every corner of India, media and other channels are promoting and highlighting them, it seems that neither razing of Babri Mosque is a crime nor honoring its offenders is an unlawful act.
To divert the attention from the real facts, voices are being raised from various corners that negotiation and dialogue is the only solution of Babri Mosque issue. How negotiations could be the solution to resolve Babri Mosque dispute, while it failed before December 6th, 1992.
Movements were organized, Rath Yatras moved in every part of the country, by untrue statements and by provocative speeches, common Hindus were emotionally manipulated and used against Muslims in each rally organized to assemble Hindutva cadres to demonstrate their power and their fascist might in Ayodhya.
Today, while there is no more mosque, temporary temple is installed, only Hindus are allowed to offer prayer there, and tight security have been arranged to prevent Muslims to enter the site, congress, BJP and other Hindtuva organizations are talking of talks to solve this dispute, but Muslims and Muslim demands are completely driven out from the said site.
Before coming on to the table of negotiation, it should be clear for all parties and for all corners that Babri Mosque before 6th December 1992 was a Mosque and destroying any religious places of any community is a criminal offense and those who participated in such cases, according to Indian laws are culprits and they should have to surrender before the court for their crimes. Their failure in appearing before court, government whether is central or state should have to arrest them and put them before law to receive what they did.
How negotiation can bring an acceptable solution of Babri Mosque when both Congress and BJP didn’t stand on their promises? The then late congress Prime Minister Narsimha Rao had promised to Muslims of reconstruction of Babri Mosque on same place where it was before 6th December 1992 but after having been passed of 17 years of this incident, which is a blot on Indian democracy, the nation is still waiting for the rebuilding of said Mosque.
The site of Babri Mosque should be given to Muslims without any condition. Those who openly or secretly played their role in Babri Mosque, they are trying to cover their face from common Hindus because in these 17 years they failed to deliver any proof which shows that Babri Mosqe where it was built was the place of a temple, let alone the place of birth of Lord Rama. Let their punishment be a lesson for the future generation that India though did fail to protect the historic mosque but did not fail to punish those who were guilty of this aggression against Indian constitution.
