The town of Ayodhya in northern India - in the presence of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi - witnessed the laying of the cornerstone of the Hindu "Rama Temple" on the site of the Babri Mosque which was destroyed by Hindu preachers on December 6, 1992.
This was the (second) cornerstone of this temple where the Hindu rituals laid the foundation stone of this temple on November 9, 1989 during the era of Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, and they claimed at the time that the cornerstone was placed in the eye of the place where the Hindu god Rama was born According to their beliefs.
The Hindu political movement (the Hindu) has gained full control of the reins of power, using the issue of "Rama Temple" at the expense of secularism and the policy of equality between citizens that India has historically been known to be.
The media, police, bureaucracy and even the judiciary largely stand with the Hindu movement represented by the Indian People's Party that has governed India since May 2015.
This extreme domination of the Indian media manifested itself in covering the laying of the foundation stone of the Hindu temple on the ruins of the Babri Mosque, ignoring the head of a (secular) state laying the cornerstone of a religious temple or spending huge sums from the state treasury on this project.
The Indian newspapers and satellite channels focused on the major measures and preparations that preceded the historical event in the town of Ayodhya, in addition to providing tight security, including the deployment of (3500) snipers on the rooftops of buildings in the area where the Prime Minister's convoy was driven.
Despite the importance of today's event in all its dimensions, most major newspapers ignored it, and it did not cover it in its editorials, except for the Hindustan Times, which said in its editorial that "Ayodhya is the symbol of Hindu belief, make it a symbol of secularism and pluralism as well."
"When building the temple begins, this gives Modi a rare opportunity. The temple is a political and cultural victory for the Indian People's Party, and Modi's political life itself coincided with the establishment of this Hindu political project, as did the life of millions who wanted to establish a temple on the disputed land."
"The fact that Muslims adhered to the rule of law and accepted the ruling of the Supreme Court to end this matter should be commended, but the feeling of insecurity experienced by Muslims as a result of the political mobilization that accompanied this issue cannot be ignored. Nor can the fact that the Babri Mosque was demolished, This was a criminal act according to the Supreme Court ruling itself, which ruled in favor of the temple. "
News websites and newspapers have published many articles that consider building the temple a victory for the Hindu political movement, and some of these articles were written by ministers or leaders of the People's Party or journalists affiliated with the Hindu movement.
(Ram Madhao) Secretary-General of the ruling People's Party wrote in his article published by "The Indian Express", "Every country has sacred places, and every religion has actual and metaphysical sacred spaces and Ayodhya is that place for Hindus and other Indian religions."
"The Rama Temple has corrected the course of the debate, and has put politics in a new mold, and it should not be seen to be opposed to the mosque or the Muslims. The Rama Temple movement was a movement A real mass, and it will take root in Indian politics. "
"The temple should have been built decades ago, but this was not the case due to the fake secularism pursued by the Indian Congress Party," the author (Coloring Singh) said in an article in the Indian Express newspaper. The writer reminded readers that the temple's groundbreaking ceremony was held in 1989 under the rule of the Congress Party, but the matter stopped there.
Today, Ayodia is witnessing the overthrow of the old and the building of a "new republic," political analyst and editor-in-chief of "Studies in Indian Politics" (Suhas Baleshkar) said in an article in the Indian Express newspaper.
"The Indian People's Party removed the old republic, but history will record how other players have helped with this with their hidden desire. We have seen how the rest of the parties have joined the Indian People's Party's choir on Kashmir. As far as the temple issue is concerned, most parties have chosen to ignore the issues raised by Ayodhya." When parties rejoice to build a temple in Ayodhya, they ignore that the temple is built on the ruins of coexistence, and that it represents the imposition of Hindu domination of others to an unprecedented degree.
Siddhart Wardarajan, one of the most prominent Indian journalists, a former editor of the Hindu newspaper, said in an article on his news website (The Wire), “August 5 will go down in history as a day to celebrate the victory of barbarism, the victory of destruction over renewal, and the victory of crime and lawlessness. On law and justice, and the triumph of myth and fabrication over truth and truth. An effective part of the Indian media has helped the ruling People's Party market these two lies: that the Race Ice Temple is the Hindu temple and that the abolition of Kashmir’s autonomy was to fight terrorism and Kashmir’s economic prosperity. ”
Observers note that the politicians - with the exception of Muslims and leftists - were silent or supported what happened today, and few supporters see that the timing of this step was not appropriate, according to the opinion of some priests and astrologers was not a blessed timing according to the calculations of the Hindu calendar.
As for the Indian Congress Party, which has long ruled India with secularism, it has remained silent, while some party leaders have blamed for not inviting them to the ground-breaking ceremony, because all the major steps leading to this end were taken during the ruling Congress Party.
Priyanka Gandhi, the daughter of party leader Sonia Gandhi, posted a photo of her on social media with phrases praising and supporting this event and considered (Rama) a great figure in the history of India, and that laying the foundation of the temple is an occasion to unite all Indians.
The former minister, Salman Khurshid, a leader of the Congress Party, also welcomed the event, and said that the case had been decided judicially in favor of Hindus, so it is their right to build the great temple on the land of the former mosque.
