Doha, December 10: "One of my worst days as the citizen of India was when the Masjid was brought down. It was an assault on reason and the rationality of the Indian Constitution,” said Zafar Ahmed.
He was delivering inaugural address at a programme organised by Qatar India Fraternity Forum at Fraternity House Mansoura Doha on ‘Babri Masjid 20 Years of Denied Justice’.
“It was not a usual case; it was a unique case which connected with every citizen of India who believed in the Constitution,” he said.
The chief guest Syed Abdul Hye, Vice president of Ideal Indian school, opined that the demolition of the Babri Masjid was the second major act of terrorism in the independent India after the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi.
He called for stringent action against those named in the Liberhan Commission report.
Addressing the gathering Shouqat Ali recalled that former Intelligence Bureau (IB) Joint Director Maloy Krishna Dhar claimed that Babri Masjid demolition was planned 10 months in advance by top leaders of RSS, BJP and VHP.
He raised questions over the way the then Prime Minister P V Narasimha Rao, had handled the issue. Mr Dhar had claimed that he was directed to arrange the coverage of a key meeting of the BJP/Sangh Parivar and that the meeting "proved beyond doubt that they (RSS, BJP, VHP) had drawn up the blueprint of the Hindutva assault in the coming months and at Ayodhya in December 1992. The RSS, BJP, VHP and the Bajrang Dal leaders present in the meeting amply agreed to work in a well-orchestrated manner."
Abdulaziz also spoke. Huzoor Ahmed Naik, Co-ordinator of the event, welcomed the gathering and briefed about the work of Qatar India Fraternity Forum in past and their future plans. Jaseer Moulavi recited the Quranic verses. The programme concluded with Huzoor Ahmed Naik thanking all for their participation.
