With these three salient points a delegation of Sants met Your Honour on May
30, 2013. In the talks it was made clear that –
(i) After the Babri structure
was no more, the then Mahamahim Rashtrapati Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma on 07th
January, 1993 invited advice from the Hon’ble Supreme Court under Article 143
of the Constitution of Bharat as to whether the Babri structure of 1528 CE was
constructed on a virgin land or after demolishing a Hindu temple? On this the
Apex Court asked for his intention. The Government of Bharat then gave this
affidavit in the Apex Court that: “… If the question referred is answered
in the affirmative, namely, that a Hindu temple/structure did exist prior to
the construction of the demolished structure, government action will be in
support of the wishes of the Hindu community…” (Ref. – 1994-6-SCC, p. 383 –
Ismail Faruqi Vs. Government of India). The Sant delegation informed
Your Honour that after about 76 field battles wedged by generations of Hindus
sacrificing their lives in lakhs for liberation of the Ayodhya site that ran
for 421 years and after about 60 years of court battles and movements on
national and international scale, the Court verdict had come in favour of the
Sri Rama Janma Bhumi on September 30, 2010. The three-Judge Bench of Allahabad
High Court (Special Bench, Lucknow) had given its unanimous verdict that the
very place is Sri Rama Janma Bhumi where Sri Ram Lala (Infant Sri Ram) is
Virajman today. The Babri structure was put up after demolishing a Hindu temple
and reusing the demolished material. The Hon’ble High Court said: “The
disputed structure was constructed on the site of old structure after
demolition of the same. The Archaeological Survey of India has proved that the
structure was a massive Hindu religious structure…”. It further said, the
structure “was built against the tenets of Islam. Thus, it cannot have the
character of a mosque.” The Muslim case was, therefore, annulled.

(ii)
The
delegation made it clear to Your Honour that the Government of Bharat is bound
by its word to act “…in support of the wishes of the Hindu community…” in
the matter and it should now pass a law in Parliament and handover the 70 acres
of acquired land to the Hindu society for construction of Sri Rama Janma Bhumi
Temple – a grand Temple of Nativity dedicated to Sri Ram at His Birthplace in
Ayodhya.

It was
made clear to Your Honour that it took about five centuries and sacrifices of
lakhs of lives on the part of the Hindu society to liberate its
spirituo-cultural capital Ayodhya from the Babri structure nail in its heart,
and, therefore, no icon or memorial in the name of Babar was now acceptable to
the Hindu society within the cultural boundaries (84-Kosi Parikrama zone) of
Ayodhya.

Quoting
from the Prayag Kumbh Resolution, the Ven’ble Sants urged upon Your Honour that
the Hon’ble Prime Minister should table a Bill for Sri Rama Janma Bhumi in this
monsoon session of Parliament.

(i) From 25th August to
13th September, 2013, a 20-day 84-Kosi Parikrama (Circumambulatory
Pilgrimage) should be undertaken by the Sant Fraternity covering 40 traditional
legs/camping sites on the route. From every one of the 40 Prants of Vishva
Hindu Parishad in the country, about 200 Sant-Mahatmas would take part in one
of the legs of the Yatra for a day and go back to their Prant. Any Babri
icon/memorial within the area of this 84-Kosi Parikrama is not acceptable to
the Sant Fraternity of Bharat.

(ii) If a Bill on Sri Rama Janma Bhumi
is not tabled in the monsoon session of Parliament, then on October 18, 2013,
the people at 100,000 places in the country will ceremonially take a solemn vow
for Sri Rama Janma Bhumi Temple and a mammoth Conference for Solemn Vow will
take place on the banks of the Holy Sarayu river in Ayodhyaji, and the
participants would collectively swear on the holy water of the Sarayu in their
palm-cups in favour of the said three salient points of the Prayag Resolution.

(4) An 11-member
delegation of Ven. Sants and Seers in their two-hour long meeting on August 17,
2013 with Sri Mulayam Singhji and the U.P. Chief Minister Sri Akhilesh Singhji
had made every aspect of the scheduled 84-Kosi Parikrama clear to them. There
was no inkling during the audience that a ban would be imposed on the Yatra.
Everyone was confident that the Dharmic Yatra would take place
peacefully.

(5) Then suddenly
something happened overnight in the government camp and the next day a U.P.
government notification came to stop the Yatra and now they have unleashed
their state machinery to apply coercive and oppressive measures on the Sants
and seers coming daily to Ayodhya to participate in the Yatra. It is a
violation of our fundamental Dharmic rights guaranteed in the Constitution of
Bharat.

(6) It is beyond
anyone’s comprehension as to how can there be a law & order problem if @
200 Sants and seers a day a Padyatra is done and discourses delivered amongst
the rural populace from only two of the 40 camping sites of the Yatra route? We
humbly request Your Honour in your capacity as the Guardian of the Constitution
to intervene in this matter so that the letter and spirit of the Constitution
is safeguarded. You are the First Citizen occupying the Highest Office in the
country. Where only a dozen police personnel should be enough to cover two
daily programmes as simple as this, deploying many companies of the security
forces for it is a crime perpetrated on the Constitution.
