Centre asks state govts to be on high alert on Dec. 6
New Delhi, Dec 5, IRNA – The central government has asked state governments to remain on high alert on December 6, appealing to all sections of the people to maintain peace and communal harmony.
December 6, marks the day when the historical Babri Mosque in Ayodhya, city of Uttar Pradesh, was destroyed by 150,000 fanatic Hindus in 1992 despite a commitment to the Indian Supreme Court by the rally organisers that the mosque would not be harmed. Over 3,000 people were killed in communal riots in many major Indian cities including Mumbai and Delhi.
Security forces will be deployed for maintaining law and order in sensitive places since the center believes that communal peace may be disturbed by certain elements.
The government has also asked the people to maintain peace and harmony and cooperate with the centre and state governments in this regard.
Meanwhile, the Samajwadi Party (SP) on Thursday said it would observe the anniversary of the Babri Mosque demolition on Dec 6 as a "black day".
Meanwhile, several Hindu and Muslim groups have decided to take out a march on the 17th anniversary of demolition of Babri Masjid on December 6.
"With a message of peace and communal harmony we will start Karwan-e-Aman from Ayodhya to Ajmer Shareef on December 6 to promote Hindu Muslim unity and secularism in the country," national president of All India United Muslim Morcha (AIUMM) M A Siddiqui said.
"The basic objective behind organising the march is to give a message to the people that this is the right time to move ahead and think about bigger issues like development," Siddiqui said.
"Later in the day a candle procession will be taken out against communalism," he said.
The march will culminate at Ajmer Shareef on December 12, where an all religion prayer will be organised./end
