New Delhi: Ahead of Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, a BJP MP in the Rajya Sabha on Thursday, raise issue of land disputes Sri Krishna Janmabhoomi of Mathura and demanding legislation that would provide for removal of the status quo.
Improve this problem through the zero hour mention, Harnath Singh Yadav described as “unconstitutional” Law Places of Worship (Special) of 1991 which prohibits the conversion of any place of worship and provide maintenance religious character of any of any place of worship As there on 15 August 1947.
While the measures make exceptions for legal cases around the Ram Janmabhoomi in Ayodhya, all legal disputes in court over other religious places considered to be covered by the act in 1991, he said.
“This provision not only violates the constitutional provision of equity rights but also secularism, which is part of the constitutional preamble,” he said.
“It is strange that this law states that no citizen could oppose to the court.
National also can not be challenged.” He said that the law gives “the sanctity of the law” to “strong occupation Krishna Janmabhoomi and other religious places by foreign invaders”.
“The law is arbitrary and unconstitutional has lost Hindus, Jains, Sikhs and Buddhists their right to practice and propagate their religion,” he said.
Also, the 1991 law discriminates between Lord Ram and Lord Krishna as both are ‘avatar’ of Lord Vishnu.
“There can not be two laws for the same actions and circumstances.
Second, the court door can not be closed for the citizens,” he said.
“The act of worship (special provisions) is not only unconstitutional but also atrocities against the religious sentiments of Hindus, Jains, Sikhs and Buddhists.
I demand the law be repealed.” Some opposition MPs objected to the filing of the zero-hour.
Raise a point of order, Manoj Kumar Jha of RJD said Act 1991 was passed by Parliament to protect the idea of ​​friendliness and harmony and BJP MP had “opened a Pandora’s box.” “These people suffered enough in the name of religious conflict.
Do not disturb the social fabric of India,” he said.
Vice Chairman Harivansh said there was no point and all notifications received by the Chairman MPs according to the rules of the Rajya Sabha and if anyone had a problem, they should write to him.
Problems view in Rajya Sabha following the Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya last week tweeting that preparation is underway for building a large temple in Mathura on the lines of Ayodhya and Varanasi.
He is the first senior BJP leaders who hold positions in government to make such a statement in the 2022 assembly elections in the state.
Mathura has a prominent mosque – The Shahi Idgah – located next to the temple, which is believed as the site of the birthplace of Lord Krishna.
It is tucked into the center of a legal battle for years with Hindu groups claim that Idgah built on the land where Lord Krishna was born.
Long dispute was perceived as being completed after the October 1968 court agreement between the trust which manages it and Shri Krishna Janmasthan Seva Sangh.
But was revived after the Ayodhya agitation.
Hindu groups demanded this agreement and submit the entire temple complex-Idgah at Mathura.
