Babri Masjid case

Lucknow: Two days ahead of the 22nd anniversary of Babri Masjid demolition case, the oldest litigant in the case, Mohammad Hashim Ansari, has declared that he doesn't want to pursue the matter any further and wants 'Ram Lalla' (infant Ram) to be free.

  • People reaping political gains are in bungalows, while Ram Lalla in a tent
  • Mohammad Hashim Ansari says he will not fight the case any more
  • Decides not to take part in December 6 protests against demolition

Expressing unhappiness over the politicisation of the Babri case, Ansari, who has been fighting the case since 1959, said he will not attend any protest meeting on December 6 to mark the anniversary of Babri Masjid demolition. Speaking to the media persons, Ansari said that the people who are reaping political benefits are staying in bungalows whereas “Ram Lalla is living in a tent. I want to see Ram Lalla free.”

If Modi assures punishment of the accused, we are ready for peaceful resolution, says Mohammad Hashim Ansari

Criticising Uttar Pradesh Minister Azam Khan for calling Ram Janambhoomi "a dead issue", Ansari took a dig at him and said that from now on Khan would pursue the case and not him. He had said that the Ayodhya issue was "almost dead" as a "temple already exists there" and alleged BJP wanted to keep it alive to vitiate the atmosphere.
