The statement of BJP president Nitin Gadkari requesting Muslims to hand over the small stretch of land at Ayodhya was truly hysterical. As a member of my community, I would first ask him to return to us the lives, property, honour and dignity of the thousands of Muslims who were butchered by the thugs unleashed by his party as well as by their mentor namely RSS and its affiliates. Next, there is not a single incident of communal riots in independent India for which the Sangh Parivar cannot be held responsible. Let him bring to justice all the people from his Parivar who were responsible for the above mayhem including high-profile offenders like the hawkish Narendra Modi and hand them over for conviction instead of shamelessly defending them. Also, let him publicly announce a change in the manifesto of his party and stop their animosity and unjust policies towards the Muslim community.
