28 years since 1992 have elapsed after Babri Mosque destruction, the temple construction issue is to square one ?

The direct instructions to the BJP led NDA government and the BJP leadership by the RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat directing them to come out with a legislation for the expeditious construction of Ram Temple at Ayodhya has made one thing unambiguos that either the fountain head of the saffron party has little faith in the justice of the supreme court of the land on the vexed Ram Mandir issue or the usual game of polarisation of the majority community votes during the election year has again come to the fore as used to be earlier.

The government of BJP has climbed to historic majority in 2014 and the demand for legislation on Ram Temple construction comes four years after and that too when the five states of the country are going for polls next month and the general elections are due after nine months.

Since the day Babri Masjid was demolished by the hindu chauvinists in 1992 and the Hindu Muslim imbroglio started thereafter, almost 26 years has passed since than and lots of governments changed with the BJP ruling for the third time at the centre but the saffron party which have been always banking and exploiting the majority community vote bank has so far not achieved a single percent success in the context of temple contruction development.

Everybody is well aware that when the BJP stalwart and a liberal leader within the BJP Atal Bihari Vajpayee formed his government in 2004, the BJP’s main plank was the construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya but after attaining power at the centre alongwith other parties the main agenda of Ram Mandir construction was thrown on the back burner knowing very well that the then government of Vajpayee had acknowleged the mandate on the Ram Temple issue.

The issue of Ram Temple had been the crux of its election menifesto since the formation of the Bhartiya Janata Party in 1980, alongwith two main issues viz implementation of uniform civil code and abrogation of Article 371 in Jammu n Kashmir.

These three significant issues had been the core points of the BJP’s national election menifesto but if one minutely examines or asseses their stand on these significant commitments, they’d always failed to fulfil these old promises knowing very well that in the context of India’s secular character n diverse culture, religions n faiths, its neigh to impossible to implement these promises not even partially, not to talk of the full implementation.

Rather the party had formed a post poll alliance with the ideologically opposite outfit, the PDP and formed the government to finally disintegrate.

The point is where does the party stands in the context of Ram Temple, today? It’s simply clear that the matter is in the court of law and would take lot of time thus not suiting to the political temperament of the saffron party which desperately needs this significant issue to be resolved in its favour failing which it may suffer badly and adversely at the hustings.

Therefore, now a new call from the all powerful Sarva Sanghchalak of its main frontal organisation RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat for bringing out a strong legislation to ensure the construction of the temple.
In his forceful Vijay Dashmi speech in Nagpur the RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said: Construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya from the self esteem point of view and the govt should bring a legislation to construct it speedily. It will also pave the way for an atmosphere of goodwill and oneness in the country.

Now there is again a question mark on this demand? Can the government do this unilaterally in a country with diverse culture, languages, religions and faiths and even if it dares to bring out a legislation as asked by Mohan Bhagwat , does the party posesses the majority in the upper house ?

What about other important legislations on granting 33 percent reservation to the women in the parliament and state legislative assemblies of the country and several other bills still lying pending?

Political analysts say that its nothing but a ploy of the saffron party to raise the issue again just before the national elections in order to impress upon the majority community about its seriousness on the issue and also in view of the on going election campaging of the five states likely to to polls next months. It’s also important in order to dilute important poll issues like Rafale, banking frauds n inflation due to incraese in the prices of petro prducts which have created lot of problems n unease for the ruling political dispensation at the centre and the states going to the polls. What are people of the country questioning is that – the countrymen need jobs, decrease in the inflationery pressure of essential commodities, low oil n LPG prices, waiver of farm loans and better MSP etc than construction of the temple.

One should not forget that right from 1992 till date if the Ram Temple issue could not progress an inch further what’s the guarantee that it’s going to be fulfilled in the near future as well ? This is the question being posed by the people of the country .

The new educated n higly literate generation of the country actually needs employment, housing and better promotional future prospects that to fall in these futile debates of religion and communal frenzy which has never led to the progress of the country except taking it backwards , towards the medieval era. What’s your take friends?
