The merit of the demand for the construction
of a temple in honour of Shri Rama is the one that has to be decided first.
The justification for the construction has been made on the basis of historical,
literary, legal, revenue and archaeological records. This has been presented
to all the sections of the society, including the Government of India
and those opposed to the construction of the temple. Time and again, the
Hindus have made sincere efforts to find a negotiated solution. These
were frustrated for no fault of the Hindus. All the relevant information
is in public domain.
Therefore, under the circumstances, and
given the just merit of the demand for the construction, we do not see
any reason why there should be any kind of confrontation with any party.
The people who are seeking a confrontation are those who do not wish to
recognise the strong sentiments of the Hindus for their holy sites. Hence,
the fault will not lie with the Hindus in this case too. |
