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.

New Delhi: Seeking to strengthen bilateral ties, India and the Maldives on Monday inked a currency swap agreement to the tune of $400 million, a move that would help the archipelago nation overcome foreign exchange reserve issues.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and visiting Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu also launched Rupay card in the Maldives, inaugurated the new runway at the Hanimadhoo International airport and agreed to further strengthen bilateral relations that had hit a rocky patch last year.

Muizzu, who is on a four-day state visit, held talks with Prime Minister Modi at the Hyderabad House here.

After the talks, India also handed over 700 social housing units to the Maldives built under the EXIM Bank’s buyer’s credit facilities.

"Today, we have inaugurated the redeveloped Hanimaadhoo Airport. Now, the Greater Male Connectivity Project will also be expedited. We will also support the development of a new commercial port in Thilafushi," Modi told reporters here with Muizzu by his side.

Modi said India and Maldives have decided to initiate discussion on the Free Trade Agreement to further strengthen economic ties.

The prime minister described Maldives as a "close friend" which had an important position in India's neighbourhood policy and SAGAR vision.

"India has always fulfilled the responsibilities of a neighbour. Today, we have taken up the vision of a comprehensive economic and maritime security partnership to give our mutual cooperation a strategic direction," Modi said.

Earlier, Muizzu was accorded a ceremonial welcome at the Rashtrapati Bhawan by President Droupadi Murmu. Prime Minister Modi was also present on the occasion.

Muizzu was given a tri-services guard of honour before he drove down the Rajghat to offer his respects at the memorial to Mahatma Gandhi.

The ties between India and the Maldives came under severe strain since Muizzu, known for his pro-China leanings, took charge of the top office in November.

Muizzu won the presidential election last year on the 'India out' campaign and asked New Delhi to withdraw its military personnel posted in the archipelago nation by May this year.

The bilateral ties also hit a rocky patch when Maldivian ministers were critical of Modi. However, Muizzu has since toned down his anti-India stance and even sacked ministers who were critical of the Indian prime minister.

As the Maldives was grappling with a serious economic downturn, India has decided to extend vital budgetary support to the Maldives government with the rollover of a $50 million Treasury Bill for another year.

Mysuru: Chairman of JD(S) core committee and Chamundeshwari constituency MLA G T Devegowda on Thursday expressed his solidarity with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah saying the latter need not resign, while lambasting leaders of his own party and alliance partner BJP, including Union Minister H D Kumaraswamy.

In his speech during Mysuru Dasara inauguration he said that if persons against whom FIR is registered have to resign, many leaders from all the three parties, including Opposition Leader R Ashoka, will have to resign.

“All are sitting in glass houses... Since I know Siddaramaiah well, I am talking about him. At a time when mines and real estate are ruling politics, Siddaramaiah has survived in politics. He has never done any favour,” Devegowda said.

He added, “Allegations against Siddaramaiah are unexpected and accidental. If the Governor and Chief Justice order an investigation, it does not mean that he should resign."

He continued, asking, "Have they told Siddaramaiah to resign or have they asked to imprison him? When a person becomes a Central minister, he or she should realise their dignity and responsibility. Instead of recognising the good work done by Siddaramaiah, they ask him to resign. Will Kumarswamy (facing an FIR) resign? Should Siddaramaiah, who has become CM with a support of 135 MLAs, resign?"

"Opposition leaders are not remembering the good work of earlier CMs Kengal Hanumanthaiah, Veerendra Patil, Ramakrishna Hegde, H D Deve Gowda or S M Krishna. Karnataka is a model state. It is a bad trend to topple an elected government which is doing good work,” he further said.

Devegowda added, “Siddaramaiah is Goddess Chamundeshwari’s ‘Varaputra’ and hence has her blessings during tough times. He won the election in Chamundeshwari Assembly constituency, when the BJP-JD(S) government was in power in 2006. With the blessings of the Goddess, he has held varied positions right from becoming an MLA for the first time in 1983. He presented 15 budgets and has become CM for a second time. He took H C Mahadevappa, a Dalit leader to the state level. Siddaramaiah has the support of Deputy CM D K Shivakumar as ‘Jodeththu’. Blessings of the beneficiaries of guarantee schemes are with him (Siddaramaiah).” 

Siddaramaiah said, “Devegowda was a MUDA member. He knows the truth. Hence, he is saying this. His words have filled strength in me. ‘Satyameva Jayate’, Truth will always triumph.”

Karnataka Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao reminded that V D Savarkar was not against cow slaughter as he himself was non-veg eater, PTI reported on Thursday.

"As a Brahmin he was eating meat, and he was openly propagating eating meat," said the minister at an event in Bengaluru.

Reacting to Gundu Rao's claim, BJP MP Anurag Thakur called Congress a "factory of lies" as he warned that India won't tolerate any disrespect towards Savarkar.

"By disrespecting Veer Savarkar they have shown that they don't respect freedom fighters. During the Congress government, Sardar Bhagat Singh was termed a separatist in textbooks...By making those who want to break the nation join the congress party, Rahul Gandhi is taking forward the ideology of 'tukde tukde' and he is a 'modern Jinnah' who speaks ill of the country abroad...," he said.

Meanwhile, a court in Maharashtra's Nashik district summoned Congress MP Rahul Gandhi earlier this week in a defamation case filed against him for his alleged objectionable remarks against the Hindutva ideologue.

The complainant, who is the director of an NGO, claimed he watched a press conference addressed by Gandhi in Hingoli and also a speech made by the Congress leader in November 2022.

He alleged that Gandhi, on the two occasions, by his words and visual representations knowingly harmed the reputation of Veer Savarkar and also tried to defame the latter's image in the society.

According to the complainant, Gandhi said "Savarkar is BJP and RSS jin" which was defamatory in nature.
