Babri panel demands assurance from VHP, Bajrang Dal

The All India Babri Masjid Reconstruction Committee on Thursday demanded a firm assurance from the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and the Bajrang Dal that they would abide by the court verdict on Ayodhya, even as it welcomed the day-to-day hearing in the case.

"The step taken for the speedy disposal of the vexed issue is welcome. But the brazen moves by the VHP and Bajrang Dal to go ahead with construction and some of their pronouncements showing scant regard for judiciary is a cause for concern," AIBMRC president Younus Siddiqui said.

He said the Muslim community would respect the court verdict 'even if it goes in favour of a temple', and demanded a similar assurance from the VHP and the Bajrang Dal.

Siddiqui said that there should be an end to the controversy and the best course for an amicable solution was through 'dialogue and understanding'.

Siddiqui also warned that if the VHP and the Bajrang Dal continue with the temple movement without waiting for the court verdict, AIBMRC would embark on a yatra, on the lines of VHP's chetavni yatra, to drum up support and financial aid for construction of a mosque at the spot where the Babri Masjid stood.
