| Narasimha Rao's affidavit a shot in Modi's arm | | Ram Mandir | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Dec 28: The resurfacing of P V Narasimha Rao Government's affidavit to the Supreme Court in 1994 is going to be a crucial factor in the Ayodhya Ram Mandir case. The 1994 affidavit, which was submitted to Supreme Court by Government of India on September 14, 1994, clearly said that "if it is found that a Hindu Temple existed under the demolished Babri Masjid, the Government would return the acquired land to Hindus back for construction of a Ram Mandir". Significantly, in 2003, Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) clearly came out with evidence of "14 pillars of a demolished old Hindu Temple" and said that "the Masjid was indeed built above this". The 574-page report stated: "There was archaeological evidence of a massive structure just below the disputed structure and evidence of continuity in structural activities from the 10th century onwards up to the construction of the disputed structure (Babri Mosque)".
The ASI's excavation team led by a leading historian Prof B B Lal and archeologist K K Mohammed found that the "Babri Masjid was built on a Hindu temple, finding 14 pillars of the temple. Only recently, in several interviews, K K Mohammed reiterated that "many Left historians tried to hush-up this fact".
As per the Central Government's affidavit before the Supreme Court, they can now easily hand over the land to Hindus for the construction of a Ram Mandir. The importance of this crucial affidavit was raised by BJP leader Subramanian Swamy in the Acharya Dharma Sabha in Rajkot on December 21. Swamy said that "this affidavit empowers the Central Government to hand over the land to Hindus for Ram Mandir construction and inform the Supreme Court about its decision, based on the findings of the ASI".
At present Supreme Court has listed the Ayodhya title case appeal on January 4, 2019, for the creation of a new Bench to hear the matter forward.
Now the question is that as the Centre and the Uttar Pradesh Government is with the BJP, why is Narendra Modi Government not implementing this assurance mentioned in the affidavit filed by Narasimha Rao Government in 1994 before the Supreme Court after the ASI categorically found that Babri Masjid is constructed by demolishing a Hindu Temple in the 15th century? |
