Over 7000 Muslims arrested in South India on Babri Mosque demolition anniversary
NEW DELHI, Dec. 6 APP: Over 7,000 Muslims were arrested in Tamil Nadu state in India for protesting against demolition of Babri Mosque in 1992.

They were demonstrating on the 16th anniversary of demolition of the Mosque.

Media reports from Chennai said the authorities had tightened security ahead of the demonstrations in the communally sensitive Coimbatore district of the state by deploying additional force at airports and places of worship.

The authorities arrested activists of Tamil Nadu Muslim Munnetra Kazhagam (TMMK) and Tamil Nadu Towheed Jamaat (TNTJ) when they tried to stage “rail rook” and demonstration in many places, including Chennai, Coimbatore and Tirupur, demanding rebuilding of Babri Masjid.

In Chennai alone, around 1,500 members of TNTJ were arrested near Raj Bhavan while about 800 members of TMMK were held at the Central and Egmore Railway Stations, the police said.

In Coimbatore over 2,000 activists of TMMK and TNTJ were detained.

Similar protests were also staged in other cities and towns of Tamil Nadu. Meanwhile, Muslim organisations in India have demanded President Pratibha Patil to re-build the mosque at its original site.

The All India Babri Masjid Re-Building Committee and All India Muslim Unity Front in a joint memorandum to Patil also demanded referral of all disputes relating to it and Ram temple to the Supreme Court for a final time-bound and binding decision.

The verdict of the court will be acceptable to the Muslim community, the memorandum said.

They arrested 7000 Muslims in India to mark its anniversary. That's not much of an incident?

The Babri masjid demolition was one of the most un-fortunate things to have happened to India,and it is the responsibility of our generation to see that these kind of things do not happen in the future.By the way,these seem very old pictures. Things are different now. The terrorists have managed to unite us.This year thankfully the mood was great. Maybe we should construct a temple and a mosque at the disputed site as a show of one-ness.

of Babri mosque razing
KOLKATA: Security was high in the Indian town of Ayodhya on Saturday, the 16th anniversary of the razing of the Babri mosque by a Hindu extremist mob.

A makeshift Hindu temple now stands there. Hindu nationalists burned five Pakistani flags in front of the temple site on Saturday to shouts of Down with Pakistan. “We decided to also condemn the terror unleashed by Pakistan on our country,” a spokesman for the group, Sharad Sharma, said.

“And what could have been a better way to condemn than setting ablaze the flags of that country?”

At least 700 extra officers were protecting the site, district police chief RKS Rathore told Reuters.

Earlier, 15 Hindu activists demanding a permanent temple be built were arrested in nearby Faizabad while Muslim activists who ordinarily fly a black flag on the anniversary opted not to.

“We are not making any public protest this time in view of the large-scale carnage by terrorists in Mumbai,” activist leader Yunus Siddiqui told Reuters.
