Jamaat-e-Islami Hind questions centre's plea in SC related to 67-7 acres of land around Babri Masjid site
New
Delhi: Jamaat-e-Islami Hind has questioned the move of the
central government to return to its owners/occupiers the “excess” land out of
the 67.7 acres around Babri Masjid acquired by the then central government in
1993. The Jamaat has asked the government to withdraw the concerned petition it
filed in the Supreme Court on Tuesday.
In a
statement to the media on Thursday, JIH President Maulana Syed Jalaluddin Umari said: “The
entire world knows that there are many cases pending in the Hon’ble Courts
regarding the Babri Masjid and it is a well-established norm that the litigants
in any case wait for the Court to pronounce its judgment and accept it when it
comes. If such is the practice then it is extremely bewildering and
unfathomable as to why a democratic and secular government is becoming a party
to the dispute on its own accord.”
The
Jamaat chief said: “Because of this strange behavior of the government, the people
will be justified to conclude that the government is abandoning its duty of
providing justice to its citizens and keeping in view the upcoming
parliamentary elections, it is trying to influence the voters for gaining
political mileage by inciting them with pipe dreams.”
“We
advise the government that it should not forgo its constitutional obligations
and withdraw its application pertaining to returning the excess land from the
67.7 acre land around Babri Masjid. The government must honor the stay by the
Court and refrain from taking any steps which go against justice and remain
suspicious in the eyes of people and which will sully the image of India
internationally. We wish to remind the government of its bounden duty to
establish peace in the country and work hard for the development and prosperity
of our nation,” said Jamaat leader.
