New Delhi:
Prime Minister Manmohan Tuesday urged the people to maintain peace
and harmony after the Allahabad High Court delivers its verdict
Thursday in the 61-year-old Ramjanmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute in
Ayodhya.
"Whatever be the nature of judgment, I think everyone should make
every effort to maintain peace, harmony and tranquility in the
country," Manmohan Singh told reporters on the sidelines of a book
release function here Tuesday.
He recalled that the appeal for peace had been mentioned in the
resolution adopted by the union cabinet Sep 16.
Earlier in the day, a three-member bench of the Supreme Court
headed by Chief Justice S.H. Kapadia dismissed a petition to defer
the high court judgment to facilitate attempts for an out-of-court
settlement.
The judgment by the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court was
earlier scheduled for Sep 24 but the apex court deferred it Sep
23.
Last week, Home Minister P. Chidmabaram had also appealed for
peace after the verdict.
Both Manmohan Singh and Chidmabaram had pointed out that the high
court judgment may not be the final word in the dispute as one
could appeal in the apex court.
The suit relates to a disputed site in Ayodhya, which Hindu groups
claim to be the birthplace of Lord Ram. On Dec 6, 1992, radical
Hindu activists destroyed the Babri Masjid, alleging it was built
in 1528 after razing a temple there.
The demolition had triggered one of the worst communal riots,
resulting in the death of 2,000 people in different states.

Due to the threats of riot and
terror attacks, the festive season in India
nowadays results in sleepless nights for the security
personnel.
Against this backdrop, the show of communal harmony in Malegaon by Ajantha Mandal cannot be more timely. The Mandal
in a large hoarding portrays the real picture of the Muslim
dominated textile town in North Maharashtra. It shows,
Malegaon is where Azan in a Masjid and Shunkh
in a Mandir go simultaneously. To further make its point,
the Mandal plays communal harmony songs on a cassette-player
in its full sound.
