Blast demolished Masjid, says RSS chief

Express News Service

 

Thiruvananthapuram, December 8: RSS chief K S Sudarsan today said

Babri Masjid was demolished on December 6, 1992, through an explosion

and alleged that the then Prime Minister P V Narasimha Rao and some

of his Cabinet colleagues were responsible for the act.

Addressing a public meeting here, the RSS chief exonerated Bajrang

Dal and VHP, saying that the volunteers of these organisations took

away only the plastering of the building on that fateful day. They

had no hand in the further demolition of the building. BJP leaders L

K Advani, M M Joshi and Uma Bharati, who were chargesheeted in the

case, too were innocent.

Sudarsan said a powerful device was exploded inside the Masjid tomb

with the connivance of the Congress Government to raze the building.

``This was a grand conspiracy. The revelations of Nirmala Deshpande

the other day are significant. This is only part of the story. There

is more to come,'' he claimed.

The RSS chief went on to say that he chanced upon a fax message sent

by a Maharashtra Congress leader to P V Narasimha Rao on December 10,

1996, which clearly spoke of the role of `kitchen Cabinet' around Rao

in the demolition of the Masjid.

Sudarsan criticised the Congress action of stalling the Parliament

for the last three days, demanding the ouster of Joshi, Advani and

Uma Bharati in connection with the demolition of the Masjid. ``These

leaders tried their best to calm down an emotional gathering who

assembled around the Masjid in the Ramjanmabhumi.''

The RSS chief in his two-hour-long speech called for the

indigenisation of Christian churches and integration of the Muslim

community to the great Indian culture which could be traced back to

several thousands of years.

Sudarsan criticised the Roman Catholic Church for standing in the way

of the demand for a national church in the country. This was negation

of history as national churches came into being in countries like

Britain, Denmark, Norway, Russia and Italy by breaking away from the

hegemony of Roman Catholic Church.

Several Christian groups like the Malankara Church had supported the

idea of a national church. ``A representative of Malankara Church

recently met me and told their strong support for the idea,'' the RSS

chief added.

He further said that Pope John Paul II misused his Indian hospitality

when he proclaimed from this soil that the mission of the Catholic

Church in the third millennium was to convert people of Asian

countries to Christianity.

Roman Catholic Church was also the lone voice in the recent all-

religious meeting in New York which opposed the concept that all

faiths lead to salvation. ``The Catholic Church even does not accept

other Christian denominations as equal to it.''

According to the RSS chief, the separatist movements in northeastern

states were being funded and supported by Baptist Mission Church.

BNLF, TNLF and NNLF were all instigated by the Baptist missionaries.

``Praying to Saraswathy in schools or sporting tilaks in those areas

coming under the sway of the insurgency movements have been

prohibited,'' he said.

Sudarsan also wondered at the reluctance of Muslim community in the

country to accept their Indian hereditary. ``Even Muslims in

Indonesia do not have any qualms in accepting Rama and Krishna as

their ancestors and they also hold Ramayana and Mahabharata in high

esteem.''

RSS chief drops a bombshell on Babri demolition

'Structure was not demolished but was blasted from inside`

Thiruvananthapuram, Dec 8 (UNI)

In a major revelation, Rashtriya Swayam Sevak Sangh (RSS) Chief K S

Sudarshan said tonight that the Babri Masjid was not demolished by

''Kar Sevaks,'' but was devastated by an explosion triggered from

inside the masjid.

'' Today I want to share a secret with you. The truth has started

trickling in and the truth will come out fully very soon,'' he said

while addressing RSS workers at the Puthericandam maidan here.

Mr Sudarshan said the ''kitchen cabinet'' of the then Congress (I)

Prime Minister P V Narasimha Rao was aware of this explosion.

In this context, Mr Sudarshan said he had seen a fax message sent by

a Congress(I) leader of Maharashtra on December 10,1992, in this

regard.

Mr Sudarshan said immediately after the demolition of the Babri

Masjid, the second line leaders of the BJP reported that there were

Marathi speaking people inside the masjid.

''The matters narrated in the fax message of the Maharashtra leader

and the presence of the Marathi speaking people were not a

coincidence.'' ''Many political conspiracies were behind the

demolition,'' Mr Sudarshan said.

He said the ''Kar Sevaks'' only managed to remove the plaster of the

disputed site. When Dr Murli Manohar Joshi and Mr L K Advani tried to

pacify the kar sevaks, the structure came down due to a blast.''

Referring to the ongoing agitation of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha

demanding resignation of three central ministers for their alleged

role in the demolition of Babri Masjid, Mr Sudarshan asked: ''What

about the people with whose tacit knowledge the disputed structure

was brought down?``
