Jaipur: On 21st anniversary of Babari Masjid Demolition, a protest and prayer was organised by the Rajasthan’s apex Muslim body Rajasthan Muslim Forum.
“6th December is the black day in Indian History, when thousands of hooligans shattered the 400 years old mosque on provocation by the fascist leaders,” said Dr. Muhammad Salim Engineer, national secretary Jamaat-E-Islami Hind (JIH).
“This was done by the same fascist and communal forces that were responsible for the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi and now they are fantasizing about ruling the country, which the secular people of India will never allow to happen,” he added. He said that these forces are not enemies of Muslims only, but they are foes to the country as well as its secular fabric. He expressed faith in the judicial system of the country and believed that Muslims will categorically get justice.
Advocate Paker Farooq, state president of Association for Protection of Civil Rights and member of Welfare Party of India elaborated the history of Babari Masjid from its construction till its demolition and revealed that Babar did never come to Ayodhya all over his lifetime and the mosque was built by his general Meer Baqi. He said that according to Islamic law, no mosque can be built on a land, unless it is legally purchased or given into the possession of the Muslims by other legal means, hence the Babari Masjid war constructed only on a vacant land that was under the custody of the ruler.
Mr. Sawai Singh, convener Sadbhav Manch Rajasthan said that the communal and fascist forces, who demolished the Babari Masjid, want to divide the country on the basis of religion in order to fulfil their political interests. Assuring the Muslims of going hand in hand with them in their struggle for justice, he said that this was not the fight of Muslims alone, but was a fight for justice and rights.
Convener of Rajasthan Muslim Forum, Qari Mueenudden said that the Muslim community should not be estimated as weak, but they are bound to obey the law of the country. Engineer Khurshid Husain, state president JIH along with Advocate Amir Azeez and Muhammad Shaukat Qureshi also put their views forth.
In resolutions, passed on this occasion, the house was astonished on the fact that the criminals of Babari Masjid were roaming free even after 21 years of the shameful episode.
The house demanded to speed up all the suits, including that regarding the title of the land, going on in different courts of UP as well as in the Supreme Court of India. The house also demanded to launch criminal cases against all the persons whom the Librahan Commission has held responsible for the demolition of Babari Masjid.
It was appealed to the masses to maintain brotherhood and harmony among themselves and it was repeated that the Muslims have belief in the law and judicial system of the country and they will continue their struggle in collaboration with other peace loving and just individuals and organisations until they attain justice. The protest ended with Dua (prayer) by Qari Mueenuddeen.
