Chennai: Tamilnadu Muslim Munnetra Kazhagam (TMMK) conducted sit-in at 42 important cities and towns of Tamilnadu today to remember the 18th anniversary of Babri Masjid demolition and express displeasure against the Allahabad High Court verdict of September 30.
At the dharnas, TMMK demanded prosecution of 68 persons accused by the Liberhan Commission as responsible for Babri Masjid demolition, expedition of the Babri Masjid criminal case pending in the Raebareli and speedy disposal of the appeal petition filed against the judgement given by the Allahabad High Court in the Babri Masjid title suit.
Prof. M.H. Jawahirullah, President, TMMK, led a dharna in which political activists Mr. Jagaveerapandian, Mr. Che. Ku. Tamilarasan, Advocate Muthukrishnan, CPM State Executive committee Member Mr. Shanmugam, besides others participated to express their solidarity.
Speaking on the occasion Prof. M.H. Jawahirullah said all illegal activities relating to Babri Masjid have happened when Congress was ruling the country. He said prayers were held in Babri Masjid from 1528 to 1949 December 22. On the night of December 22 idols were placed under the central dome of the Masjid when Congress was ruling the centre and the state of UP. Similarly on February 1, 1985, when Congress was ruling the country and the UP state the locks of Babri Masjid were ordered to be opened by the Faizabad District court which has no jurisdiction to pass such an order. The court order came a few days after the then Prime Minister Mr. Rajiv Gandhi has promised that the locks of Babri Masjid would be opened to allow Darshan before Shivaratri. Babri Masjid was demolished on 6th December 1992 when the P.V. Narasimsha Rao led Congress Government was in power at the centre. The then Congress Prime Minister had promised the nation in
his televised speech that the Masjid would be reconstructed at the spot where it stood. Successive Congress Governments have failed to keep up this promise.
“To add salt to the wound, the Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court has given a judgement which is a black dot in the history of Indian Judiciary when Congress is again ruling the nation. The Congress party should remember that it lost power in UP and
subsequently in Delhi for its anti secular and anti constitutional misdemeanours in the Babri Masjid case,” TMMK chief said.
