By IRNA,
New Delhi : A Muslim body, All India Babri Masjid Re-building Committee (AIBMRC) fighting for rebuilding Babri Mosque in Ayodhya will not organize any protests on Saturday on the anniversary of demolition of the mosque to express solidarity with the victims of terrorist attacks in Mumbai.
The AIBMRC said it will, instead, send a memorandum to President Pratibha Patil urging her to order the rebuilding of Babri Mosque at its original site in Ayodhya or refer all disputes related to the issue to a Supreme Court for final order.
“We will not be holding any demonstration or dharna on the 16th anniversary of the demolition of Babri Mosque due to the recent terrorist attacks in Mumbai and to extend solidarity with the families of the hundreds of innocents who lost their lives or injured in the attacks,” AIBMRC president Mohd Younus Siddique said in a statement today.
Stating that President Pratibha Patil would be moved to transfer the Ayodha disputes to the apex court, Siddique said, “Whatever the decision (the Supreme Court takes, it) will be acceptable to the community as the community has full faith in Constitution, Judiciary and law and order.”
The Babri Mosque or Mosque of Babur was constructed by order of the first Mughal emperor of India, Babur, in Ayodhya, a city of Uttar Pradesh in the 16th century.
It was demolished by 150,000 fanatic Hindus during a planned ceremony on December 6, 1992 despite a commitment to the Indian Supreme Court that the mosque would not be harmed.
Since then Muslims are observing “Black Day” on 6th of December every year.
More than 2000 people, were killed in the ensuing riots following the demolition.
Riots broke out in many major Indian cities including Mumbai, Delhi and Hyderabad.
