Sir,
Congressman Ghulam Nabi Azad and others should know better than to ask superfluous and diversionary questions as to why S. B. Chavan was silent all these years when he was a personal witness to Rao’s connivance in the destruction of Babri Mosque. The abysmal level of sycophancy that has eroded the very character of all Congressmen cannot produce any other scenario. Instead of asking for the resignation of Rao and Chavan, Ghulam Nabi Azad, himself should have resigned from the primary membership of Congress, if he was so upright. The failure of all state machinery, including the highest official entrusted to uphold the law of the land, to prevent the conspiracy to succeed, can not be left unaccounted. All criminals should be brought to justice, however, high and mighty they may be. Babri Masjid is an open sore and unless these wounds are healed, the country will not get peace; so essential to its rebuilding and development.
