On Saturday December 9th, Indians Abroad for Pluralist India held a rally in commemoration of the 25 years of the demolition of Babri Mosque at Holland Park in Surrey.
The current ruling party of India, BJP, planned the demolition of Babri Mosque in December of 1992. On December 5th The Supreme Court stated the "final hearing" over the disputed Ayodhya site that is claimed by both Hindus and Muslims will begin on hat from February 8-2018.
By holding a rally here in Canada, it is expected that the politicians here will pick the issue of Babri Masjid and keep the issue alive atleast while dealing with the Indian Government.
The rally was started by a moment of silence in memory of a Muslim labourer brutally murdered by a Hindu fanatic in Rajasthan, India this past week.
Shambhu Lal, the main suspect not only hacked the Muslim man to death but set him alight. The video of his violent action went viral on social media. Lal justified the murder accusing Muslims of Jihad in India. Such incidents have grown ever since BJP came to power with brute majority in 2014.
Gian Singh Gill warned that India will soon become a Hindu nation if all minorities did not join hands.
Gurpreet Singh one of the organizers on behalf of IAPI demanded that the community members should write to their MPs to break their silence on Babri episode and growing threat of Hindu extremism.
