SDPI to hold rally on Dec 6, says govt must abide by its promise to rebuild Babri Masjid

Media Release
December 2, 2018

New Delhi, Dec 2: The Social Democratic Party of India has condemned RSS and its allied organisations like Shiv Sena, VHP, Bajrang Dal etc for disturbing peace and communal harmony at Ayodhya on the pretext of Ram Mandir.

The SDPI feels it is a deliberate attempt to terrorise the people of our country to press for an unlawful construction of Ram Temple by hook or crook bypassing the judicial proceedings and the final verdict in the title suit pending before the Supreme Court. In 2010 Lucknow bench verdict of Allahabad High Court partitioned the disputed land among the parties with one third part of the land for the reconstruction of Babri Masjid. But it was stayed by Supreme Court and subsequently the only option in a democracy is to wait for its verdict. 

In a press conference called  in Delhi, the party national leaders including its National Vice President Mr R P Pandeya, National General Secretaries Mr Abdul Majeed and Mr Mohammed Shafi, Natioanl Secretary Dr Tasleem Ahmed Rehmani and Delhi State Convenor Dr Nizamuddin Khan said that 2 days long Ayodhya mass mobilisation involves several hundred crore of rupees with tremendous inconvenience to the people in East UP and thousands of frightened residents had to move away from their homes fearing violence from provocative sloganearing mobs roaming in Ayodhya and Faizahad streets.

This mobilisation has sent a shock wave across the country among all peace-loving, just and law-abiding citizenary. SDPI leaders said that all this havoc was created to generate a threat to the country and it judiciary that these outfits will not adhere to any rule of law. The party leaders demand that Govt. should recover the cost of all police and other arrangements from the organisers for creating such a situation. They said,  had  such rally be organised by any group of SC, ST, OBC or minority or from any secular socialist group for their just and lawful demands,  the same Hindutva groups may have come in large number to disturb the gathering like they did in Bhimaji Koregaon in Maharashtra in February.

SDPI national leaders said that Muslim leaders never moblised the community on streets  since last 3 decades for forceful reconstruction of Babri Masjid though Ex-Prime Minister  Narsimha Rao promised the community on the day of its demolition that the Masjid be constructed at the same place.  They took the position that law of the land is to be trusted and always maintained that everybody has to accept the final court verdict. In this scenario this unilateral huge mobilisation by so called Hindutava groups many of whom are not even a party in the court clearly shows that they have yielded to their defeat in this case prior the verdict. Now they want to create an atmosphere of hate and fear among the masses targeting even honourable courts clearly spelling out that they don't believe in judiciary.

SDPI condemns all such statements made by so called stalwarts of nationalism in the country like RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat who openly say courts have no jurisdiction to decide any Astha. While the Supreme Court has already observed that this is not a case of Astha, but a title suit which will be examined and decided as per law.

SDPI also condemned the PM statement at an election rally at Alwar Rajasthan accusing its arch rival Congress as an obstacle in the temple construction with the active connivance of the Supreme Court. It was giving an impression as if courts are working at the behest of Congress party which is again an attempt to malign the judiciary for his political vested interests. It is a dangerous trend for the health of a democratic system where judicial system plays a vital role.  Hence this anti- national statement tantamount to contempt of court. SDPI demands Prime Minister Modi shall apologise the nation for such a dangerous statement merely for winning some state Assembly elections. It was expected that PM will advise his party colleagues and mentors to stay calm and let law shall take its own course.

SDPI also condemn Shiv Sena attempt to settle its political score in the Ayodhya streets clearly aiming to install its CM in Maharashtra and eking out major seat share in forthcoming Lok Sabha elections. While none of the Thakrey family member ever visited Ayodhya they deliberately choose this venue to garner sympathy of Maharashtrian Hindus to compete with BJP to maintain its claim as a major Hindutava force in the state. Their only aim is to retain power in the country to implement their fascist agenda to serve the interests of the corporate groups and to eliminate secular and socialist groups working for the poor. Under the camouflage of Ram MandirAstha definition of nationalism and patriotism is being changed to Hindu Nationalism and every voice of downtrodden poor asking for their rights and justice being curbed and termed as anti-national. On the other hand this has become a successful veil to hide their failures and corruption at higher places.

Now as the RSS, a right wing radicalised group, has taken direct command of Ram Mandir movement it has become more evident that country may see chaos and anrchy in the times to come.

SDPI also announced a big rally on 6th Dec 2018 in Delhi where large number of civil society organisations along with SC, ST and minority organisations to demand reconstruction of Babri Masjid at the same place. Title of Rally will be "Regain Babri Masjid, Regain Constitution." It will start at 10 am from MandiHouse and March to Parliament House wherein thousands of people belonging to various castes, communities, and religious groups will participate to break the myth and falsehood of these fringe groups that whole country is unanimous for Ram Temple construction.

SDPI expressed its satisfaction that Hindutava groups malicious attempt to break law and order in Ayodhya has failed and proved to be a flop show by the so called Ram Bhakts as they could not mobilise the desired size of mob and the day passed off peacefully.

Mysuru: The Mysuru land authority at the centre of a financial and political storm - involving Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and alleged losses of ₹ 45 crore to the state - has received an offer of restitution from his wife, the urban development body's Commissioner, AN Raghunandan said.

"I am in possession of a letter written by Siddaramaiah's wife regarding her intention to return 14 plots (of land). The Chief Minister's son, Yatindra Siddaramaiah, came to our office and delivered the letter. We will take legal advice for the next step..." he told reporters in Mysuru.

Mr Raghunandan also confirmed anti-corruption officials from the city's Lokayukta branch had written seeking cooperation in its inquiry into the charges against the Chief Minister.

He said the Mysuru Urban Development Authority, or MUDA, "will cooperate with the investigation".

The Enforcement Directorate, however, have not reached out as yet, Mr Raghunandan said. The ED, a federal agency, has filed a money laundering case against Siddaramaiah.

There have also been calls for the CBI, another federal agency, to investigate charges against the Chief Minister, but that appears unlikely now given the Karnataka government has withdrawn general consent for its operations in the state. Law Minister HK Patil made the announcement last week.

He ruled out any link with demands for the Chief Minister to be investigated by the CBI, which reports to the BJP-led central government and the ruling Congress and other opposition parties have claimed is being used by that party to target rival leaders, particularly before elections.

On Monday - three days after the Lokayukta filed a case against the Chief Minister, and hours after the ED launched its probe- Siddaramaiah's wife said she had planned to give up the land earlier but was advised against it the allegations against her husband are "politically motivated".

But now, she said, she had made up her mind as "no house, plot, or wealth is more important than my husband's honor, dignity, and peace of mind". She also said the decision was hers alone; "... I am not aware of my husband's opinion on this matter, nor do I concern myself with what my son thinks".

And, in a comment seen as a calculated swipe at the opposition BJP, which is leading calls for the Chief Minister's resignation, his wife also made an emotional appeal to "all political parties and the media" to "please not drag women of political families into the controversy to settle political scores".

Investigative action against the Chief Minister follows the Karnataka High Court quashing a challenge to Governor Thawar Chand Gehlot's order sanctioning Siddaramaiah's prosecution.

Subsequently a trial court ordered framing of charges and directed the Lokayukta to complete the investigation within three months. The ED case was filed based on the Lokayukta FIR.

Siddaramaiah faces an inquiry into claims Parvathi was allotted 14 plots of land in an upmarket Mysuru area as compensation for land elsewhere - holding a far lower value - taken for infrastructure projects.

The Chief Minister has denied all charges and refused calls to resign.

He has been backed by the Congress and his deputy, DK Shivakumar, who is also the state unit boss, and also by members of his cabinet, including IT Minister Priyank Kharge. However, some within the Congress also want him to quit, such as former Assembly Speaker KB Koliwad.

"I will fight. I am not afraid of anything. We are ready to face the investigation. I will fight this legally," he said last week after the High Court had quashed his challenge to the Governor's sanction.

Udupi: In a significant operation, the Malpe police have arrested seven Bangladeshi nationals who were illegally residing in India using forged Aadhaar cards. Udupi Superintendent of Police, Dr. Arun K, stated that the arrests followed after an immigration incident involving one of the group's members.

Muhammed Manik, one of the arrested individuals, was caught attempting to travel to Dubai via Mangaluru International Airport with a fake passport. Alert immigration officers at the airport detained him and handed him over to the Bajpe police, who registered a case. Following this, the Udupi police, acting on the information provided by the Bajpe police and immigration authorities, conducted an investigation that led to the arrest of the seven individuals in Hoode village, Paduthonse, Udupi.

The arrested individuals have been identified as Hakeem Ali (24), Sujon S K alias Farooq (19), Ismail S K (30), Kareem S K (20), Salam S K (22), Rajikul S K (20), and Mohammed Sojib (20), all hailing from Bangladesh.

The group entered India without any valid documentation and managed to acquire fake Aadhaar cards, which they used to stay in the country illegally. According to police sources, a person named Kajol from Agartala assisted them in obtaining the fraudulent Aadhaar cards, while a Bangladeshi named Usman facilitated their illegal entry into India under the guise of employment. Both Kajol and Usman are currently at large.

The Malpe police have registered cases under several sections, including Sections 19(2), 318(4), 336(2), 336(3), 340(2), and 190 of the BNS, related to fraud and illegal entry. Interrogations are ongoing as the police seek further details in connection with the case.
