‘Babri Masjid Will Never Be Rebuilt’: Yogi
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday asserted that the Babri Masjid will never be rebuilt and warned those “who are dreaming of it” to abide by the law of the land.
Addressing a gathering in Barabanki, CM Yogi said, “Those who are dreaming of the Babri structure, to them I would like to say Judgement Day (Qayamat ka din) will never come. Don’t live for the Judgement Day. Learn to live by the rules in India. Abide by the law of the land. Otherwise, if someone breaks the rules, the path will lead them straight to hell. If someone is dreaming of going to heaven by breaking laws, their dream would never materialise.”
Yogi also took a jibe at the opportunists, “Some opportunists remember Lord Ram when they face crises and forget Him later. So, Lord Ram has also forgotten them. They will not succeed now. They will never go forward now,” he said.
Invoking the incident of former Uttar Pradesh CM Mulayam Singh Yadav’s order to fire at karsevaks in Ayodhya in 1990, Yogi said, “There is no place for these ‘Ramdrohis’ now; there is no place for those who fire bullets at Ram bhakts”.
The Babri Masjid was demolished on December 6, 1992, in Ayodhya by a large group of ‘kar sevaks’, and the metaphorical foundation stone of Ram Mandir was laid down.
In the aftermath of the incident, riots broke out in different parts of the country, and over 1,000 people were killed.
Kalyan Singh, who was CM when the Babri Masjid was demolished. A few hours after the demolition, he resigned as Chief Minister. The Congress-led Union Government then dismissed the Uttar Pradesh state government on the same day. Singh later faced legal proceedings and was jailed for a single day over the incident.
The Ayodhya Ram Mandir was inaugurated in January 2024. (ANI)
