Shia Waqf Board affidavit on Babri issue disappointing: PFI

New Delhi, Aug 11: Popular Front of India Chairman E Abubacker expressed disappointment over the affidavit filed by Uttar Pradesh Shia Waqf Board which supported building temple at the site where Babri Masjid was demolished. 

It should be suspected that Sangh Pawriwar is pressurizing corrupt individuals in the Muslim community to destroy Babri Masjid cause and the fight for justice. Some individuals holding key positions of the UP ShiaWaqf Board have come up with the affidavit so that they can win the favour of the ruling BJP, which has already restarted polarizing campaigns in the name of Rama Janmabhoomi. But in doing so, UP Shia Waqf Board has betrayed Indian Muslim community and their decades-long battle for justice for Babri in return for petty personal gains. 

By the said affidavit, the board has practically chosen to side with those who demolished the centuries-old Babri Masjid in 1992 leaving a permanent scar in the face of secular democratic India. These individuals who sold out their integrity do not have any support left in the Muslim community, whether they are of Sunni, Shia or any other sects. 

At the same time, the affidavit does not have any legal significance to the case since the board has not been part of the case. As become evident from the statement of Subramanian Swamy, it only caters to the ongoing Hindutwapropaganda. 

Commenting on Subramanian Swami’s response, Chairman said“unlike what Swami believes, this is not a ‘God sent’solution but a Satan sent conspiracy.Indian Muslims will continue their legal battle at any cost until justice is done to Babri Majsid”.
