  • From The Telepgraph story titled, Azad brother for Ram temple (the bit that caught my attention is in bold):
  • April 12
  • Srinagar
  • Top Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad’s younger brother today announced his entry into the BJP with support to the Ram temple. Ghulam Ali had joined the BJP some days ago allegedly after he was denied a Congress ticket, but the move went largely unnoticed.
  • Today, he stirred controversy at a news conference in Jammu with his comments on the Ayodhya dispute: “It was actually a Ram Mandir, which was demolished by Emperor Babar to construct the Muslim religious place.
  • “There was neither a mosque nor will it ever come up at the disputed site. There existed a Ram temple and it shall always remain there.”
  • “Islam says a disputed site cannot be used for namaaz. I want to ask Muslim scholars to swear on the Quran and tell the people what the Quran says about the disputed site,”
  • “He (Babar) was neither a leader nor a scholar of Islam. He was an invader who demolished the temple to construct the mosque,”
