Political statements have intensified in Uttar Pradesh over the 1990 Ayodhya kar sevak firing incident. Aam Aadmi Party convener Arvind Kejriwal, addressing Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, took a jibe, saying, “Maharajji, both are trying to finish you off.” His statement is being viewed in connection with the current political situation in the state.
Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party MP Sanatan Pandey defended the decision of the then chief minister Mulayam Singh Yadav over the police firing on kar sevaks in 1990. He said the matter concerning the disputed site was sub judice at the time and it was the government’s responsibility to maintain the status quo. According to him, Mulayam Singh Yadav had taken the decision to open fire to protect the Constitution.
In his statement, the MP said the matter of the disputed structure was in court at that time and an order to maintain the status quo was in force. He also accused the BJP of making the incident a political issue. SP MP Ramashankar Rajbhar Vidyarthi also supported Mulayam Singh Yadav’s decision.
Following these statements, the 1990 Ayodhya incident has once again come to the centre of political debate. The BJP is raising questions over the statement, while SP MPs are defending the decision of the then government through their arguments.
