Pakistani clerics reject Babri Mosque verdict

Staff Report

KARACHI: Pakistani clerics on Thursday bitterly condemned the decision of the Babri Mosque case by an Indian court, adding that the court’s decision has disclosed the real face of India.

“We condemn this verdict. We reject this as well. This will create resentment on an international level,” said Sahibzada Fazl Karim.

While talking to SAMAA, he said that the Organization of International Conference (OIC) should take serious steps. “The OIC was silent on the plan to burn the Holy Quran and we did not hear even a single word on the US court’s decision against Dr. Aafia Siddiqui,” he added.

He said that it is an international conspiracy and added that such a decision was not expected. Religious and sacred places are not safe in India.

Allama Abbas Kumaili said that the decision is unjustified. “We condemn the court’s

Babri mosque verdict: India beefs up security

India braced Thursday for a court ruling on a bitter Hindu-Muslim dispute, which led to the razing of Babri mosque in 1992 and subsequent riots in which 2,000 people died.
Thousands of paramilitary police have been deployed around the north Indian town of Ayodhya home to the 16th century Babri mosque, which was demolished by Hindu extremists in 1992, and is claimed by both religious groups. The High Court in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh will Thursday hand down its ruling on who owns the site, in a judgment which poses serious security concerns for a government preoccupied with hosting the Commonwealth Games, which open in New Delhi on Sunday. The destruction of the mosque sparked some of the worst communal violence in India since the partition of the subcontinent in 1947, leaving 2,000 people, mostly Muslims, dead. The government has issued public appeals for calm ahead of the verdict, as well as placing advertisements in newspapers urging respect for the rule of law and mobilizing tens of thousands of security forces. Home Minister P. Chidambaram on Wednesday said 190,000 security troopers would be on duty across Uttar Pradesh.
Security has been tightened in Ayodhya and 32 other sensitive locations across the country four of them in Uttar Pradesh, Indias most populous state. Security has also been stepped up in Indias financial hub Mumbai where religious tensions have spilled into violence in the past.
Hindus say the Babri mosque was built by the Moghul emperor Babur on the site of a temple marking the birthplace of the Hindu warrior god Ram.
The High Court judgment will turn on three key questions: whether the disputed spot was Rams birthplace, whether the mosque was built after the demolition of a temple and if the mosque had been built in accordance with the tenets of Islam.
Any ruling is likely to be challenged in the Supreme Court.Hindus want to build a Ram temple on the site with some predicting a ruling against them would be greeted with violence.
Since 1992, the site has been cordoned off and guarded by troops. India has avoided any major outbreak of Hindu-Muslim clashes since riots in the western state of Gujarat in 2002.

Ayodhya case: Indian SC rejects deferral plea

The Indian Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected a plea to delay judgment on whether Hindus or Muslims should control a disputed holy site, clearing the way for a verdict in the explosive case later this week.
The fight over the compound in the central Indian town of Ayodhya has shaken the core of modern India and led to repeated outbreaks of communal violence that killed thousands of people. A lower court had been scheduled to issue its ruling in the 60-year-old case last Friday on whether the site should be given to the Hindu community to build a temple to the god Rama or returned to the Muslim community to rebuild the 16th-century Babri Mosque.
But the Supreme Court deferred that ruling so it could hear arguments Tuesday on whether a decision on the dispute, which dates back more than 150 years, should be delayed further to allow the two communities a chance to settle it amicably.
I told the court during arguments that there was no chance of a settlement. The High Court should be allowed to pronounce its judgment, said Zafaryab Jilani, a lawyer for the Sunni Waqf Board, a Muslim organization that was part of the original suit. On Tuesday afternoon the court dismissed the motion without giving any reasons for its decision, said Mukul Rohatgi, a lawyer who argued for the delay. The case has been stuck in India’s famously sluggish court system for so long that most of the original petitioners have died awaiting a decision. The Allahabad High Court will issue its verdict Thursday afternoon, said Hari Shankar Dubey, a court official. The court was in a rush to announce the decision before one of the judges on the panel is set to retire at the end of the week, which could force the court to put together a new panel and hear the case from the beginning. The government fears that any verdict could set off a repeat of the communal violence that killed 2,000 people in nationwide rioting in 1992 after a mob of Hindu extremists descended on Ayodhya and tore down the Babri Mosque. Hindus protested that the mosque, built in 1528 by the Mughal emperor Babur, had been erected at the birthplace of Rama.The government had appealed for calm ahead of the verdict, sent thousands of extra police to Ayodhya and barred anyone from sending mass text messages to prevent agitators from mobilizing violent protests.Ravi Shankar Prasad, an attorney who opposed the delay, said the government’s concerns should not affect the court process.The question of consequences is irrelevant, he said.Police and paramilitary soldiers patrolled the streets of Ayodhya on Tuesday and road barriers were erected across roads leading to the town.Anil Kumar, superintendent of police, said vehicles entering the town were checked and police were keeping track of the movement of groups of people.However, there appeared to be little tension in the town ahead of the verdict and all sides were counseling patience. The loser in the case will almost certainly appeal, meaning a final decision could still be years away.
