Muslim organisations in the State, under the banner of Rajasthan Muslim Forum, organised a meeting at Muslim Musafirkhana on December 6 to mark the 15th anniversary of the martyrdom of Babri Masjid.
Besides the convenor of the Forum Moinuddin, Jamaat-e-Islami Hind State president Er. Muhammad Saleem, Milli Council State general secretary Abdul Qayyoom Aakhar, Mansoori Vikas Federation president Abdul Lateef Arko, Muslim Musafirkhana secretary Muhammad Shaukat Qureshi, Dr. Izhar Musarrat and others addressed the gathering.
Speaker after speaker expressed their grave concern on that neither the perpetrators of this heinous crime have been brought to book nor the Babri Masjid site has been handed over to Muslims for its reconstruction.
“Muslims have been waiting for justice” was the common refrain.
All those present in the meeting prayed to God for the restoration of Babri Masjid.
The meeting also adopted five resolutions.
One resolution laments that the governments at the Centre, of whatever hue, has proved “a failure in doing justice with and giving rights to Muslims.”
The resolution also lamented that the Babri Masjid demolition cases are being tried with very slow pace and in different courts of law, resulting in non-framing of charges against the culprits even after the passage of 15 years since the demolition of Babri Masjid.
“We Muslims demand from the Government at the Centre to accelerate the pace of trial of the cases and finalise it soon, and to ensure that the demolishers of Babri Masjid get stringent punishment soon,” said another resolution.
Yet another resolution demands from the Union Government to pledge on the floor of Parliament that it will stand duty bound to implement the final judicial verdict of Babri Masjid trial. It also demands that the government get the Liberhan Commission submit its report very soon and publish it.
The fourth resolution laments that the government of Uttar Pradesh is getting the two cases, in which only one charge sheet was filed, tried in two different courts of law despite the repeated demands of Muslims not to do so.
“We Muslims demand from the government of Uttar Pradesh to issue a notification to get the two Babri Masjid demolition cases filed under FIR Nos. 197 and 198 clubbed and brought under a Special Court of CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) at one single place so that the culprits of Babri Masjid demolition might be given due punishment,” it said.
The fifth and last resolution reiterated once again the Muslim standpoint that Muslims would accept the final judicial verdict in the Babri Masjid demolition case.
