Several Hindu and Muslim groups have decided to take out a march on the 17th anniversary of demolition of Babri Masjid on December 6 to promote peace and communal harmony,even as many political parties will be observing the day as “dhikkar” and “kalank” diwas.
“With a message of peace and communal harmony we will start Karwan-e-Aman from Ayodhya to Ajmer Shareef on December 6 to promote Hindu Muslim unity and secularism in the country,” national president of All India United Muslim Morcha (AIUMM) M A Siddiqui said.
The march would be taken out jointly by organisations like AIUMM,Asha Pariwar,an organisation of Magsaysay awardee Sandeep Pandey,Ayodhya Ki Awaaz,Vishwa Yuva Sadbhawana Parishad and Mumbai-based Centre for Study of Society and Secularism,he said.
“The basic objective behind organising the march is to give a message to the people that this is the right time to move ahead and think about bigger issues like development,” Siddiqui said.
He said the march which will start from Ayodhya on December 6 and would reach Lucknow the same day,where a social harmony conference will be organised.
“Later in the day a candle procession will be taken out against communalism,” he said.
The march will culminate at Ajmer Shareef on December 12,where an all religion prayer will be organised.
“At Ajmer Shareef,we will pray for peace and unity in the country and offer ‘chadar’ at dargah,” Siddiqui said.
The newly formed front also demanded from the Centre to hold hearing on Ayodhya issue on lines of fast track court.
“An early decision should be given on this issue and it should be complied by all the parties involved,” he said.
Politics of religion and hatred should be put to an end and this could be done by a decision of the court on the sensitive Ayodhya dispute,he said.
“Raking up the issue only for political gain is not justified as it poses a serious threat to unity and harmony of the country. It should be put to an end,” the AIUMM president demanded.
While Samajwadi Party had announced to observe “Kala diwas”,some Hindu organisations will be observing “Shaurya” on December 6.
