Babri demolition: Muslim leaders say punish accused

“For the rise of Hindutva, it is necessary to form a Hindu-supported governments like that of Modi in Gujarat,” Vedanti said. He also asked Muslims to keep away from the Ram temple issue if they want to “live in this country peacefully”. The president of Ram Janmaboomi Nyas, Mahant Nritya Gopal Das, said the temple of Lord Ram already exists, the only thing left is to give it a great concrete shape, which will be done sooner or later.

Meanwhile, Zafaryab Jilani, the convenor of All India Babri Masjid Action Committee, said: “We have demanded the governments to issue a fresh notification in the Babri Mosque demolition case having crime number 197 and 198 of 1992 registered at Ram Janmabhoomi police station in Ayodhya”.

Jilani said the accused in the demolition case including senior BJP leaders Lal Krishna Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi, VHP leaders Ashok Singhal, Sadhvi Ritambhara, Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray and Uma Bharati are still away from the hands of law.

The main plaintiff in Babri case, Hashim Ansari, said leaders in governments should take the initiative and get the accused punished within a month or otherwise “Muslims will be bound to cross their limits and will take out a march in protest, towards the acquired area”.

Two dozen youths of Hindu Mahasabha tried to break into the meeting and were arrested by the police. They were booked for trying to create communal tension.
