Even if the BJP and allied parties take deep bathing in 1000 times in the Ganga waters they cannot clear the stain of sin from their political body.

08.12.2009, Lok Sabha (Discussion on Liberhan Report)
E.T.  MOHAMMED BASHEER

Sir, Liberhan Commission has presented its report after a delay of 17 years with 42 extensions. I wish no committee or commission will have this ill fate. Commission pinpointed-who are all intellectually ideologically, and physically responsible for the demolition of baberi masjid. Commission says that the demolition of mosque was well orchestrated with long preparation, pre-planning and not as spontaneous action out of anger. Commission has fixed the culpability on 68 persons such as A.B. Vajpeyi, K.S. Sundersan, L. K Advani, kalyan Singh, Murli Manohar Joshi etc and it has also pin pointed the organizations behind this heinous crime. It also says that how the executive abused their power. Report says that even Supreme Court observer has not done the duty.

Whatever may be the claim and counter claim. It was a darkest day in the history of secular India. It was not a mere demolition of a mosque on the other hand demolition of ethos of this country. and this heinous crime which was done, was not only against Islamic believers but against the entire peace loving and tolerant Indians. It goes without saying that even if the BJP and allied parties take deep bathing in 1000 times in the Ganga waters they cannot clear the stain of sin from their political body. Those days were of confusion and threat to democratic secular India. It was a proper time to measure the integrity and truthfulness of the political parties.

My party, IUML within our maximum possible limit, it was spreading the message of peace and communal harmony. We were very particular that our brothers and sisters should not be put into hardship and spoil the cordiality prevailing in this country. When there was a move to make capital out of the situation and there was calculated effort to fish from the troubled waters we stood with the Nation and we are proud of it. We still believe that we should not be guided by the emotions, in such critical Juncture.

Yesterday's speech made by Shri Rajnath Singh shows that they do not have even an iota of guilty conscious. Some of the leaders were proudly claiming that they are responsible for demolition. It is really shameful. One Relief and Ray of Hope. There is a positive signal in the national politics. Indian soil is of that secularism and the poisonous political agenda will not have existence in this great land. In the parliament democracy, ballot is the most powerful weapon in the hands of the people. It is not sword or trishul. Thank God. We have witnessed in the last election how wisely Indian electorate has used this weapon against the communal forces. BJP and their political partners were able to destroy Babri Masjid within hours. But their leadership find no way to save their party from the destruction inspite of their restless efforts of days together. One thing also, they must realize that they are talking about Hindu Dharma Lord Sri Ram. What is the moral right? They have got to talk about Hinduism and Lord Sri Ram. They treat all these thing to cover up their ugly faces. Sri Rajnath Singh was distorting the history on Babri Masjid. Many historians have stated the fact that Babri Masjid was constructed at a place where there was no temple before. Action taken report is ok but what about action which is going to be taken. Strict punitive action should be taken against all the culprits irrespective of their political position. And that action should be a new Indian model against criminals using politics as a mask to cover their ugly faces. The communal violence (prevention, control and the rehabilitation of victim) bill is mentioned. I would urge that it should be enacted without further delay. As reported, step may be taken to study the desirability of forming criminal justice commission. Justice delayed is justice denied – we have to keep in mind this thing – I wish to state that this Government should act upon this report on war footing level and ensure justice to victims.

(Speech was  Laid on the Table  as there was disruption in the house and chair requested to  lay the written speech.)
