New Delhi: Accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of exploiting the Ayodhya issue for political purposes, Minority Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid Monday said the party should regret orchestrating the issue.
Participating in the debate in the Lok Sabha on the Liberhan Commission report, Khurshid, Congress MP from Farrukhabad in Uttar Pradesh, also targeted the Samajwadi Party for intermittently seeking support of Kalyan Singh, a former BJP leader who was chief minister when the Babri mosque was demolished in 1992.
Referring to the Sangh Parivar, he said it had been speaking in different voices on demolition. "Some regret it, some celebrate it, some say it should have been done earlier," he said, adding that it was not a quarrel between Hindus and Muslims.
Khurshid said that Islam also had a concept similar to Ram Rajya which entails keeping away from any form of injustice.
Defending the Liberhan report which had given clean chit to then prime minister P.V. Narasimha Rao, Khurshid said: "Our mistake was that we believed you (BJP)."
He said the report had dealt with issues minutely keeping in view the fact that the Ayodhya dispute was before the courts.
Khurshid, who had to face interruptions from the BJP benches, said Kalyan Singh was like a "Hanuman" to the saffron party but it was refusing to take him back now.
He said that BJP's campaign was neither for Lord Ram's "janamasthan (birth place)" nor for "janambhoomi (land of birth)" but for attaining power, which the party has lost now.
"Where are you now," he said, referring to Congress winning Faizabad seat in the Lok Sabha elections. Ayodhya is in Faizabad district.
He said the BJP should have talked of the mosque along side the temple and no one had the right to question the patriotism of Muslims.
"We have learnt Hindu religion from Mahatma Gandhi," he said.

Common Hindus and Muslims should Unite
Some suggest that Hindus and Muslims should sit together and solve the problem.
This is difficult simply, because that will go against the long drawn conspiracy of RSS: to rule the country by totally discriminating and separating the Muslims, the low caste Hindus, the Dalits and others who would not go along with the Brahmanist domination of the nation.
Other Hindus who are not Brahmins would have no clue of this conspiracy because they are deceived by the propaganda for Hindu cultural nationalism( similar to Nazis)
The ideas of RSS, is to secretly bring enmity between the common Hindus ( non-Brahmins) and Muslim minorities by engineering communal clashes by bomb blasts making use of common Hindus and instigate terrorists like LeT from Pakistan to retaliate and put the blame for external terrorism on Indian Muslim collaboration.
Think of 26/11 Bombay terrorist attack, Indian Muslims were nothing to do with this. In the same attack at a Bombay Railway Terminal, the terrorists killed 46 people and out of 46, 22 were Muslims.
Did Pakistan Muslim terrorists come into India to kill their co-religionists? This is a huge conspiracy.
This has been an excellent strategy in increasing the vote bank of Hindu radicals. It worked beautifully well after the terrorist attack on Babri Masjid. Because the party that demolished the Masjid came to power in Delhi.
Whether it is going to work again depends on the intelligence of the intellectuals among the common Hindus and much more important as Liberhan says it depends on cleaning the high level bureaucracy of Indian civil service particularly the RAW and IB which have been heavily infiltrated by the high caste people who give tremendous support to the RSS ideology and deliberately work against the Muslim minorities.
Islam and Ram rajya similar?
Shame on Salman for saying
" Islam also had a concept similar to Ram Rajya which entails keeping away from any form of injustice."
Salman is only concerned about congress votebank.
How can a religion which has institutionalised racism/casteism keep itself away from injustine?
Yes u r right Ram Rajya & Islam are not similar
Yes Dear Salafi Ram Rajya is more and more fare and certainly it is not similar or comparable to Islam. So stop pondering at Mr Salman's inanity.
