HC directs Tamil Nadu to ban protests on Babri Masjid demolition day from 2016

The Hindu  

The Madras High Court Bench here on Friday directed the government not to give permission for demonstrations, rallies and other forms of protest by any religious organisation on December 6, the day when the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya was razed down 23 years ago, from 2016. He stressed that the need of the hour was to strengthen brotherhood “especially between Muslims and Hindus.” However, since the Dindigul police had already granted permission to two Muslim organisations — Popular Front of India and Indian National League — to hold demonstrations condemning the demolition of Babri Masjid on December 6, the judge directed the officials to consider petitioner’s plea too. “In the event of the respondents declining the request of the petitioner, they must record reasons and grounds for such rejection and in the said order, they should also justify their stand for having granted permission to two other organisations,” Mr. Justice Vaidyanathan said. He directed the police to record on video the demonstration of the two Muslim organisations and ordered the Home Secretary and Director General of Police to issue a circular, within a month, instructing all their subordinates not to grant permission for demonstrations and rallies on December 6 from 2016.
