YEH BHI AYODHYA KI AWAZ HAI By Digant Oza "Ayodhya Ki Awaz" a newly born institute from with the inspiration from Megsesse Award Winner SANDEEP PANDYE raised a Voice against the use of Religion in the Politics, and also the politics of HATE. Speakers also focused on the deterioting economic conditions of Hindu Community of Ayodhya after 6th December 1992 as 75 p.c. of Yatris have stopped visiting city due to security reasons. The institute Ayodhya Ki Awaz organized a three day Sadhavana Sammelan in JANKI MAHAL (Ayodhya) in which social activists from U.P., Bihar and Hariyana Participated. Faizalbhai, who headed the Govadh Pratibandh Andolaan in Hariyana and representatives from Gandhi Community Action were amongst the participants. As Part of the Sammelan a meeting against the use of Religion in politics was organized. The chief Priest of RamLakhan Mandir at the disputed Janmbhoomi land presided and Vibhuti Narayan (V.N.) Ray, IG Lukhnow range was the chief Guest. Prof. Ram Puniyani of EKATA (Mumbai), writer-cartoonist Abid Surati and journalist turn Social Activist from Gujarat Digant Oza along with Founder District president (Faizabad) of Vishwa HIndu Parishad and Former Pracharak Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh YUGAL KISHOR Sharan Shastri were amongst those who addressed the meeting. THE CHIEF priest of the Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir, Acharya Satyendradasji Maharaj, while addressing Sadbhavana Samelan organized by Ayodhya Ki Awaz, made a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party, which was once again trying to gain political mileage out of the present imbroglio. He said the out-siders were trying to create problems instead of making honest efforts to solve this problem, which was hanging fire for the past several decades. He appealed to the masses to shun hatred and peacefully settle the issue once and for all in national interest. The chief pujari said the aim behind coming all the way to Kanpur was to prevent the spread of hatred and bloodshed on the issue of Mandir or Masjid. He said the problem could be amicably solved in three ways. He appealed to the Hindus to ensure that the problem was solved peacefully and also appealed to the Muslims not to adopt a rigid stance and ensure an amicable solution to resolve this issue once and for all. On being asked if the structure demolished was a temple or a mosque, the Acharya said, "When Ram Lalla exists there and puja, archana and other religious functions are continuing there then certainly it is a temple. However the issue is sub judice so unless the court decides on it no one has the right to say whether it is a mandir or a masjid." he said the first solution to this problem was through an amicable solution through negotiations across the table and the third through a special provision to be made by the government under which it could decide the case as it deemed fit. The Acharya informed newsmen that he was the chief pujari of the Ram Mandir along with nine other subordinates and added that his job was to perform "aarti" and distribute "prasad" to whosoever sought it. He said the issue was in fact not that complex but it had been made by the BJP and its sister organizations which were trying to gain political mileage by putting at stake the lakhs of people of India who had nothing to do with politics and were eager for an amicable solution to this problem. When asked what would be his stand if the court decided that the disputed structure was a mosque, the chief priest said "in case the court gives a verdict that it was a mosque then in the capacity of an elder brother I will appeal to the younger brother (Muslims) to hand it over to the Hindus so that this problem could be solved once and for all. He said if the outside interference was stopped, this issue could be settled with in no time by the people of Ayodhya where both the Hindus and Muslims were living together peacefully with a feeling of brotherhood and amity displaying religious tolerance. Participants were shocked when they were told that out of total 308 booked in Gujarat under POTO 307 were Muslims and Solitary exception was of a Sikha and that 38 thousand members of minority community were still leaving out of their homes even after 25 months after Godhra. On walls, allover Ayodhya, Posters of Poorvanchal Sangharsha Samiti are Visible, which raises Questions regarding the problems of Ayodhya other than Mandir-Masjid. One of the Posters said that since even after 13 years of Efforts the Hindu organizations have failed to built Ram Temple it is obligatory on part of Bhartiya Janta Party to contest Elections only after constructing the temple. The Poster also questions why V.H.P. has NOT been able to rebuilt any of the demolished Temples in the country. Poorvanchal Sangharsh Samiti has raised the issues which worries the citizens of Ayodhya and Faizabad. The Local irritants include Education, Health, Power, Gutter and link Roads. Samiti also asks if separate states of Punjab, Hariyaana, uttaranchal, Zarkhand and chhatisgadh could be formed way NOT Poorvanchaal ? A Chanakya Parishad was organized by the samiti during last weekend. Abid Surati while suggesting the secular literature should be made available at the Janmabhoomi site, said, "Yahaan se Jhoodh to bahut Failaya jaa raha hai, Ab kuchh sach bhi jane dijiye." It was also suggested at the meeting that ALL INDIA YAATRA of youth under the leadership of Acharya Satyendra Prasad, Yugal Kishor Sharan Shastri and such others saints should be organized so that "Ayodhya Ki Awaz" can be heard by the countrymen, Which demands "Ayodhya Ka Faisala Ayodhya Ke Haath." Sooniye, yeh bhi Ayodhya ki hi Awaz hai. ------------------------------------------ Courtesy:Harsh Kapoor/SACW http://groups.yahoo.com/group/act |
