Ayodhya mosque, an unfinished tale

The Hindu  

Over three years after the ‘settlement’ of the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid title dispute, the mosque awaits administrative clearances before a brick can be laid. In the same order of over 1,000 pages, the top court had asked the government — either the Centre or Uttar Pradesh — to allot a “prominent and suitable” 5-acre plot in Ayodhya to the Sunni Central Wakf Board, to construct a mosque. He added that the first hurdle was the approval of the plans, which, besides the mosque spread across over 4,500 square metres, included a hospital, community kitchen, library, and a research centre dedicated to Maulvi Ahmadullah Shah, a freedom fighter, who took part in the 1857 war of independence against the British. ‘Due process’ ADA secretary Satyendra Singh denied any administrative hurdle in the construction of the mosque, but termed the delay “due process”. “We want to build this mosque to send across a message of peace,” he said, adding that initially people from the Muslim community were reluctant to take the 5 acres of land — for many, it was a compromise.
