Since its inception in December, 1986 the BMMCC has taken a clear and consistent stand that if the Babari Masjid is found judicially to have been indeed constructed on the site of a standing Ram Janambhoomi Mandir after demolishing it, the Babari Masjid is not a Masjid under the Shariat ab initio and should be given up and handed over to the Hindu community for the proposed reconstruction of the Mandir. Indeed, this was the historic question referred by the Government of India to the Supreme Court in 1993. The Supreme Court in October 1995 declined to give on Opinion and asked the Allahabad High Court to revive the pending consolidated title suit, in which one of the issues identified is this very question.
Earlier, the BMMCC had agreed to the proposal of Justice V.R. Krishna Iyer to place this matter before a Commission of Inquiry and to the suggestion of Shri Rajiv Gandhi, then Leader of the Congress, that the Commission of Inquiry should have Supreme Court Judges as its members, subject to the conditions that the VHP commit itself to accept the verdict of the Commission and stop all agitations in the meantime and that this should not serve as a precedent. However, the VHP did not accept the proposal and the then Prime Minister Chandra Shekhar did not pursue the matter.
However, now that the revered Imam of the Haram Sharif, Makkah, has made the same suggestion, the BMMCC welcomes it so long as the historical fact is decided by the judicial process and the Sangh Parivar commits itself to abide by the judicial finding and stops all agitation and, in the context of 1991 Act on Places of Worship, it also desists from claiming other Masjids, in order to save the nation from interminable turmoil and consequent waste of national energy."
