Singhal criticises Sonia Gandhi over Ayodhya remarks

RAJKOT: Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) president Ashok Singhal on Saturday criticised UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi for her remarks on the Babri Masjid, alleging it amounted to "contempt of court".

He objected to Sonia's recent statement that the Allahabad high court's verdict on the Ayodhya title suits did not condone the demolition of the Babri Masjid and those responsible for the act must be brought to justice.

According to Singhal, the comment was an insult of the court.

There was no evidence that the Mughal emperor Babar had constructed the Mosque there, Singhal said, adding that when the court has dismissed the claim, then we should respect it and refrain from making any comments on existence of the mosque.

He alleged that Sonia Gandhi was trying to provoke sentiments of the minority community by making such comments.

The Muslim Waqf Board should give up the fight for land at Ayodhya and help in constructing a Ram Temple, he said.

Babri structure represented a symbol of foreign conquest. By destroying it nationalists have symbolically said that India shall be rid of her heritage of slavery and reconnect to her glorious past which will once more lead to India being the leading light of world civilization. Those who do not understand this are still in the thralldom of a slave's mind.
