Banglore Resolution on Ayodhya Movement

The Akhila Bharatiya Karyakari Mandal of RSS considers that the movement for the construction of Sri Ram’s temple on the Ramjanmasthan at Ayodhya is an expression of national aspiration of the people. The movement has brought together the Hindu society transcending all differences of caste, creed, region and language. This movement has changed the course of the national polity and redefined distorted political idioms. It is in this background and for the noble aims and ideals manifest in the movement that the RSS has identified itself and has given unqualified support to this great mass movement in the national history.

It is very unfortunate that the Supreme Court could not, on March 13, 2002, pronounce its verdict which could have enabled the Hindus to perform the Shilapujan on the undisputed portion of the land which is in the Government possession and on which even the Muslims have not advanced any claim and would have redressed a long standing grievance. The sentiments of millions of Hindus are now grievously hurt.

Without casting any aspersion on the interim order made by the three judge bench of the Supreme Court, we are constrained to say that they have overlooked what the five judge bench had said in its final judgement in 1994. (SCC (6) 360, para 49, 50, 56). The bench had said thus: ‘.......at a later stage when the exact area acquired which is needed for achieving the professed purpose of acquisition, can be determined, it would not merely be permissible but also desirable that the superfluous excess area is released from acquisition and reverted to its earlier owner.’

At para 56 the court said that this need not await the final adjudication of the suit. That the above has been overlooked by the 3 judge bench is evident from the observation of the judges as reported in the print media viz. “Even if it is the correct reading of the 1994 order, we will not allow any puja which will escalate the situation.”

The atmosphere of rapprochement so kindly and laboriously created by Pujya Shakaracharya of Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham has been vitiated by the machinations of vested interests.
No social harmony can be achieved by litigation or by deployment of forces. It can be accomplished by respecting each other’s sentiments. We strongly urge the Government to remove all the hurdles placed in the way of the Ram sevaks and pilgrims who are going to Karsevakpuram to offer poornahuti. The ABKM also calls upon the swayamsevaks and likeminded Hindutva-devoted workers to go to the people to enlighten them about the real issues and strengthen their resolve to continue the struggle in a peaceful and lawful manner till the goal of building a grand temple for Sri Rama at his Janmasthan is fulfilled.
