Hyderabad: Member of
Parliament Asaduddin Owaisi has said the Muslims will never give
up even an inch of the land of the demolished Babri Masjid at
Ayodhya.
The president of the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) said
Muslims were betrayed at every step in the Babri Masjid case and
felt that justice should be done to ensure peace and law and order
in the country.
Owaisi was addressing a mammoth public meeting organised by the
United Muslim Action Committee at MIM headquarters Darussalam here
Sunday night, ahead of the 20th anniversary of the demolition of
the Babri Masjid on Dec 6, 1992.
Giving a detailed account of the case, the MP from Hyderabad
advised Muslims to pray for the success of the All India Muslim
Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) in the legal battle.
The AIMPLB has challenged, in the Supreme Court, the Sep 30, 2010
verdict of the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court, which
directed that the 2.77-acre disputed land be divided in three
parts among Hindus and Muslims.
Of this, two parts go to Hindu organisations, while the remaining
one-third will go to the Muslims.
Owaisi drew a parallel between installation of idols in Babri
Masjid and the construction of an illegal temple in the precincts
of the historic Charminar here.
He alleged that the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) colluded
with "communal forces" to allow the temple to come up, in blatant
violation of the rules for protection of heritage monuments.
United Muslim Action Committee convenor Abdul Rahim Quraishi said
secularism and justice were "murdered" with the demolition of the
Babri Masjid.
He said Muslims would never forget that tragedy.
Quraishi, who is also the secretary of AIMPLB, said the Babri
Masjid case was linked to all those mosques on which "Hindu
communal forces" were laying claim. He hoped justice would be done
to Muslims.
Shakeel Samdani, professor at Aligarh Muslim University and member
of AIMPLB, said the tragedy of Dec 6, 1992 broke the hearts of
Indian Muslims. He alleged that the communal forces which
demolished the mosque were out to destroy Hindu-Muslim unity.
Samdani advised Muslim youth to pay attention to law education
along with medical and engineering courses.
Leaders of various Muslim organisations addressed the meeting.
