Owaisi Alleges Systematic Takeover of Babri Masjid Ahead of Ram Janmabhoomi Ceremony

January 20, 2024, 6:27 pm

As the nation eagerly awaits the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ ceremony scheduled for January 22 at the Ram Janmabhoomi, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi has reignited the debate surrounding the title deed dispute. On Saturday, Owaisi claimed that the Babri Masjid was systematically taken away from Muslims, casting a shadow over the upcoming event.

The protracted legal battle concluded with a landmark ruling by a five-judge Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court, favoring the Hindu claim in the title dispute. The ruling, based on findings by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), asserted that the Babri mosque was built on the remnants of a temple at Ram Janmabhoomi in the 16th century.

Despite the legal verdict, the controversial demolition of the mosque in 1992 by Kar Sevaks triggered communal riots nationwide, resulting in numerous casualties. Subsequently, the site became a focal point for religious activities, with Kar Sevaks worshipping an idol of Ram Lalla at the location.

Owaisi, speaking to reporters, asserted, “Muslims offered namaz in Babri Masjid for 500 years. The Babri Masjid was taken away from us in a systematic manner. If the idols placed inside the masjid during Govind Ballabh Pant’s tenure had been removed and the mosque not demolished in 1992, the current situation might have been different.”

He criticized political figures, including Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, for what he perceived as efforts to appease the majority community. Owaisi highlighted historical events, claiming that there was no Ram Mandir in Ayodhya when the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) was founded and that Mahatma Gandhi never addressed the issue.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is slated to perform rituals during the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ ceremony, with top seers from across the country officiating the main rituals. The ceremony will witness the participation of celebrities and dignitaries, adding to the significance of the event. As the country gears up for this momentous occasion, Owaisi’s remarks inject a renewed perspective into the complex and historically charged Ram Janmabhoomi dispute.

Ramotsav 2024: Uttar Pradesh’s Ambitious Solar Street Light Project in Ayodhya Sets to Break World Record

January 9, 2024, 2:46 pm

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s aim of transforming Ayodhya into a solar metropolis is being realized with the installation of 470 solar street lights over a 10.2 kilometer stretch between Guptar Ghat and Nirmali Kund. This extraordinary performance is poised to cement Ayodhya’s place in the Guinness Book of World Records, adding to the city’s previous record for burning the most earthen lamps during Deepotsav.

Under the guidance of CM Yogi, the Uttar Pradesh New and Renewable Energy Development Agency (UPNEDA) has achieved nearly 70 percent completion of the installation work. The remaining 160 solar streetlights are scheduled to be in place before January 22, marking a significant milestone.

Praveen Nath Pandey, the project officer of UPNEDA (Ayodhya), highlighted that Ayodhya is on track to establish a world record with the installation of 470 solar street lights in the designated 10.2 km area. Currently, 310 solar lights illuminate the stretch from Lakshman Ghat to Guptar Ghat, with the ongoing installation of an additional 160 solar-powered street lights between Guptar Ghat and Nirmali Kund, covering a distance of 1.85 km. All the solar-powered street lights are LED-based, operating at 4.4 watts, and equipped with smart technology, promising an illuminated and energy-efficient environment.

The world record the state government aims to surpass is currently held by Malham, Saudi Arabia, where 468 solar-powered lights were installed over 9.7 km in 2021. Uttar Pradesh’s Yogi government is determined to break this record by installing 470 solar-powered lights across a 10.2 km expanse in Ayodhya.

Ayodhya’s previous Guinness World Record achievement during Diwali in 2023, with 25,000 volunteers lighting 22.23 lakh lamps at the ghats of Sarayu, further solidifies the city’s commitment to embracing sustainable and innovative practices. The grand event on January 22, coinciding with the adornment of Lord Ram’s idol at the Ram Janmabhoomi temple, is expected to set a new record in the Guinness Book of World Records, showcasing Ayodhya’s dedication to both tradition and progressive environmental initiatives. Ongoing discussions between local administration, UPNEDA officials, and representatives from the Guinness Book of World Records indicate a strong commitment to making this vision a reality.

January 9, 2024, 12:54 pm

The Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has decided to cancel the planned procession on January 17, allowing devotees to witness the new idol of Ram Lalla across Ayodhya ahead of the consecration ceremony.
