On the occasion of 25 years of Babri Masjid demolition, Civil Liberties Monitoring Committee states in a press statement that the demolition of Masjid is a blot on the Indian Democracy & Secularism. It is one more stigma on the Judiciary that has failed to deliver justice according to the law of the land.
”It is a matter of grave concern for the whole civil society of the universe that in this modern era of democracy and secularism, Babri Masjid was razed down by the Hindutva terrorists. It was even live telecasted on Indian television channels along with running commentary. The great Indian Parliament, President & Prime Minister of India were silent spectators,” said CLMC in the statement.
The Supreme Court of India had taken assurance from the then Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mr. Kalyan Singh that only ‘Shila Niyas’ would be performed & Babri Masjid would not be touched. But Supreme Court also became silent spectator on the demolition of Babri Masjid and didn’t act as per expectations of the people and still judiciary not following the basic principle of fairness and honesty of judicial procedure system that “justice delayed is justice denied”.
CLMC alleged that Indian government and its Judiciary by maintaining silence, feels that people will forget this issue. But the fact is that the wound of demolition of Babri Masjid is so deep that people especially Muslim community cannot forget the incident unless and until justice is done.
The statement reads, “Civil Liberties Monitoring Committee believes that the demolition of Babri Masjid is a terrorist act by the Hindutva forces and the conspiracy of this act was well planned & executed. It is also a shameful fact that those who lead the Hindutva terrorists’ mob have become the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister and even today they are ruling the country.”
It further said, “In this situation when the criminals of Babri Masjid demolition are ruling, justice for Babri Masjid is unimaginable; it is largely believed that this mindset will influence the Judiciary as well.”
Under these circumstances, this committee appeals to the people of India to resist the Hindutva fascism and strengthen the secular and democratic values of the country so that secularism can prevail and Hindutva fascism can be defeated; only then the people can imagine justice for Babri Masjid and it can be re-built at the same site.
