CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: A fresh political uproar has erupted over claims related to a fund for the Babri Mosque, intensifying the war of words between the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh sparked controversy by handing over select pages from a book written by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s daughter, Maniben Patel, to Defence Minister Rajnath Singh. Ramesh cited the book to counter allegations and highlight historical references concerning financial contributions linked to the Babri Mosque.
According to Congress leaders, the excerpts were presented to challenge what they described as misinformation and selective interpretation of history being used for political gains. Jairam Ramesh asserted that historical records should be read in their entirety and not distorted to suit present-day narratives. The BJP, however, dismissed the move as a diversionary tactic, accusing the Congress of reigniting sensitive issues to distract from current governance concerns.
The exchange has once again brought the Babri Mosque issue into the political spotlight, underscoring how historical documents and legacy figures continue to shape contemporary debates. Political analysts view the episode as part of a broader contest over historical interpretation and ideological positioning ahead of key political developments. The controversy has also renewed calls for responsible discourse, given the sensitive nature of the subject and its potential impact on social harmony.
