... Giving credit and euologising BJP-VHP for the demolition is shameful. It is an act of disgrace. It was a barbaric act perpetrated by BJP and the fanatics religious volunteers... If BJP comes to power it will further create status between the two major communities of our country and encourage the divisive forces already present in our society ... As an Indian and Hindu I would like to hang my head in shame for the demolition by my co-religionist. Better know that there is no historical basis on which he suggesting Babari Masjid as a symbol of barbaric act. Mughal emperor Babar was admirer of Indian achitecture, flora and fauna. Babarnama is the testimony this fact. There is no mention of demolition of Rama's temple in his memoir.
Moreover there is no historical truth in the category religious literature. There is no doubt that it has caught popular imagination. Its popularity is attributed to the process of secondary state formation in our history. It was ed as important for the validation of monarchy. It was so used as an important text for the propagation of the It of Vishu, later emphasis shifted to Ram. (Source: Mr. Vikram Kumar's Letter in The Times of India)
If demolition (of the Babari Masjid) makes the BJP a communal party, then the demolition of the Golden temple at Amritsar makes the Congress worse as it used the state apparatus to blow it up. George Fernandes President Samata Party
