“No Justice for Any Religion: Questioning the Purpose of Studying Law”
New Delhi: The hearing of the GyanVapi case took place on Friday (February 2) in the Allahabad High Court. The next hearing for this case is scheduled for February 6. Until then, the court has not imposed any restrictions on worship and has instructed to provide adequate security.
During a joint meeting of the All India Ulema Council on the matter, President Maulana Arshad Madani expressed his reaction, stating that they had raised objections even in 1991 about why the Babri Masjid was being removed under this law. Where there is Babri Masjid, there is no Ram Janmabhoomi. The verdict on the Babri Masjid has shown that it can happen with any mosque, so let’s burn the books of law. If this trend continues, no religion will receive justice. Why do you even study the law?
He further remarked that several mosques are entangled in issues after the Babri Masjid incident. The rapid emergence of these issues has created tension and sluggishness in the courts, and those seizing worship places are succeeding. He stated that if Muslims think that they only have to save mosques and minarets, nothing else will be left. He said the court made a hasty decision, not giving the other party a chance for debate. Trust in institutions providing justice has been shaken. The verdict on the Babri Masjid says that the temple was brought down, not a mosque was built. The court’s job is not to decide based on beliefs, justice is based on evidence. Efforts are being made to create mutual distances.
Maulana Madani emphasized that the law of 1991 is crucial. With the help of this law, we can stop confrontations. If this law is not implemented honestly, the country will experience turmoil. There should be a single standard for justice. If people lose trust because of this, it is not good for the country. We will also go to the Supreme Court on this matter. We will state our position in court and present the truth to everyone.
