Council of Indian Muslims (UK)
Let the Muslims Reconstruct Babri Mosque British Indian Muslims Demand
London, 6 December, 2003: The Chairman of Council of Indian Muslims- UK (CIM) Mr Munaf Zeena has called December 6 "a black day in Indian history."
In a statement on the 11th anniversary of the demolition of Babri Mosque he said that "By their shameful protection of the culprits, and by denying justice to Muslims not only by stopping them from reconstructing the mosque but by dragging TADA cases against them, BJP leaders are weakening India.
"BJP leaders should not delude themselves into believing that ethnic cleansing of Muslims in Gujarat and election victory in three states is the victory of their fascist ideology. History bears testimony to the fact that these kinds of temporary success are always short-lived and bring permanent humiliation and disgrace to the nations". Mr Zeena said.
He urged the BJP leadership to come to its senses and learn lesson from their "hero, Adolf Hitler who rose to the highest power in Germany but earned basest humiliation for himself and for the country he ruled."
"To save India from any such disgrace in the future channels of history the only way is to give the Indian society rule of fairness and justice" Mr Zeena said and demanded that Muslims be allowed to reconstruct the Babri Mosque, TADA and POTA cases against innocent citizens who were detained in 1993 in Bombay and in 2002 in Gujarat be withdrawn.
"Only a country in which all citizens are treated fairly can progress and occupy a respectable place in the world". He added.
