Everybody knows the truth of Rahul Gandhi’s comments on the need of education, technology, infrastructure, etc. But he should not have forgotten that Babri dispute has been a burning national problem. It has taken many innocent lives and as of today it has the potential of becoming a cause for an unprecedented bloodbath. Today when security forces have been so massively mobilised throughout the country to pre-empt any untoward incidents, Rahul Gandhi’s dismissing Ayodhya as a non-issue is thoughtless. Alas it has been taken up as chorus by the mighty Congress party. Through the history of Babri dispute Congress’s attitude has been to take the political advantage from the persistent low intensity hostility between Hindus and Muslims. The Indian National Congress has done precious little towards facilitating a dialogue between two communities. Better was expected of Rahul Gandhi.
