Tahreek Muslim Shabban announces plan to build Babri Masjid memorial, welfare institutions in Greater Hyderabad

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], December 7 : The President of Tahreek Muslim Shabban, Mushtaq Malik, said that a memorial for the Babri Masjid would be set up in Greater Hyderabad, along with welfare institutions, following a public meeting held on the 33rd anniversary of the mosque's demolition.
Malik said the anniversary was observed in Hyderabad with a routine public meeting, during which the decision was taken.
"In view of the 33rd anniversary of the demolition of the Babri Masjid, a routine public meeting was held at the mosque in Hyderabad. At that meeting, we decided that a memorial for the Babri Masjid would be built in Greater Hyderabad, and some welfare institutions would also be built within it. We will soon announce how it will be built and for how long," he said.
Malik went on to say that no one should be "bothered" by Babur's name, claiming that the issue was "political propaganda".
"No one should be bothered by the name of Babur. There was no evidence that any revenue came from Babur's side to build the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya. It's possible that some local person was named Babur, but the BJP and the RSS want to make Babur an issue. Babur's reign was very short," he said.
"If we look at Tulsidas's Ramayana, it was written 60 years after the construction of the Babri Masjid. There's no mention in that Ramayana that the Ram Temple was demolished," he further alleged.
He added that later Mughal rulers also allowed religious practices to continue. "After Babur came Humayun's reign, and after that came Akbar's. There were rituals and prayers in Akbar's palace. Jodha Bai was in Akbar's palace. There were rituals, prayers, and havans... Tulsidas was also alive at that time. During Akbar's period, Tulsidas could have spoken to Akbar. Man Singh was the Chief of the Army at that time. He could have asked him... Such a thing doesn't appear in Tulsi Das's Ramayana," he said.
Malik also alleged that the issue was being used to divide communities, saying, "So, this is political propaganda to divide the country. The brotherhood that existed between Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, and Dalits has been shattered by this, and the seeds of hatred have been sown."
Meanwhile, BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh launched a sharp attack on the suspended Trinamool Congress (TMC) MLA Humayun Kabir after he laid the foundation stone for Babri Masjid in Murshidabad, alleging that West Bengal's ruling establishment was encouraging religious polarisation for political gain.
Chugh invoked historical and religious sentiment, asserting that India would "never accept any monument in the name of Babur."
He said, "The same Babur who came to India aiming to wipe out the country's culture was condemned by Guru Nanak Sahib as a tyrant. He turned the Ganga, Yamuna and Saryu rivers red with Hindu blood. India will never accept any monument or object in his name."
Earlier, Suspended Trinamool Congress (TMC) MLA Humayun Kabir laid the foundation stone for the construction of Babri Masjid in Murshidabad.
Kabiur claimed that he is not doing anything "unconstitutional", saying, "Anyone can build a temple, anyone can build a church; I will build a mosque. It is being said that we cannot build the Babri Masjid. It is not written anywhere. The Supreme Court gave a judgement which stated that the Hindu people had demolished the Babri Masjid. Considering the sentiments of Hindus, the decision was taken to build a temple here. Now we see someone laying the foundation stone for a Ram Temple in Sagardighi. But the Constitution allows us to build a mosque."
Kabir added that a 300-crore budget has been allocated for the mosque, which will also include a hospital, guesthouse, and meeting hall. He reiterated his commitment to the project and said, "It is a promise of the Muslims: The Babri Masjid will be built, it will be built, it will be built."
