Barabanki (Uttar Pradesh) [India], March 2 (HBTV): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has asserted that the Babri Masjid will never be rebuilt and warned those 'who are dreaming of it' to abide by the law of the land.
Addressing a gathering in Barabanki, Adityanath said, 'Those who are dreaming of the Babri structure, to them I would like to say Judgement Day (Qayamat ka din) will never come. Do not live for the Judgement Day. Learn to live by the rules in India. Abide by the law of the land. Otherwise, if someone breaks the rules, the path will lead them straight to hell. If someone is dreaming of going to heaven by breaking laws, their dream would never materialise.'
He also took a swipe at political opponents, stating, 'Some opportunists remember Lord Ram when they face crises and forget Him later. So, Lord Ram has also forgotten them. They will not succeed now. They will never go forward now.'
Referring to the 1990 firing on kar sevaks in Ayodhya during the tenure of former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav, Adityanath said, 'There is no place for these "Ramdrohis" now; there is no place for those who fire bullets at Ram bhakts.'
The Babri Masjid was demolished on December 6, 1992, in Ayodhya by a large group of kar sevaks. In the aftermath, riots broke out in several parts of the country, resulting in over 1,000 deaths.
Kalyan Singh, who was Chief Minister at the time of the demolition, resigned hours after the incident. The Congress-led Union Government subsequently dismissed the Uttar Pradesh government the same day. Singh later faced legal proceedings and was jailed for a day in connection with the case.
The Ram Mandir in Ayodhya was inaugurated in January 2024.
