After swallowing initial shock BJP begins to reassert itself

By Kuldip Nayar in New Delhi
With the arrest of the Bharatiya Janata Party top leaders and the burning of temples in Pakistan and Bangladesh, the fundamentalist Hindus are having more cars now than they had tri the first two days when there was wide revulsion against them after the demolition of the Babri Masjid structure at Ayodhya.
They are pointing .out that while they are being blamed for the 'unfortunate Incident', as they put it. the 'over-reaction' of the Indian government
and 'vandalism' tn the neighbouring countries are going unnoticed and uncondemned.
The BJP has begun to talk tough and has regained some of Its aggressive attitude. The
retaliation in certain parts of India and the neighbouring countries has given them a talking point. That is one reason why the leaders of the All India Babr! Masjid Action
Committee have appealed to the Muslims the world over not to demolish any temple or assault and kill any Innocent Hindu tn retaliation for the developments In Ayodhya.
The BJP is also reorganising Its forces In the Intelligentsia. The Supreme Court Bar could not pass a resolution to condemn the violation of the rule of law. There was pandemonium at the meeting where the resolution was sought to be passed. However Journalists In
Delhi took out a procession to condemn what happened at Ayodhya, particularly the attack on them and the cameramen by Hindu fundamentalists.
A few leading intellectuals in the country have proposed a national monument at Ayodhya, apart from the Mosque and the Mandir, to enshrine the secular tradition of India. They have appealed to the government to set up a public trust to take charge of the task.
Political activity is as feverish as before. Prime Minister Naraslmha Rao, although backed by a unanimous resolution of the Congress Party reposing confidence in him, is shaky. Opposition leaders like VP Singh and Chandrasekhar are not willing to accept him and many within the Congress Party increasingly realise that his "inept handling* has caused them the Muslim elaborate on the one hand and credibility in the world on the other. He has survived the initial attack but he is a much weaker leader in the Congress party and still weaker Prime Minister tn the country.
The government is awaiting the Allahabad High Court Judgment scheduled to be delivered on December 11 before undertaking the task of building the mosque and the tern pie at the disputed site. The High Court may give a verdict to indicate which part of the site is disputed and which was not. However, even moderate leaders like Atal Beharl Vajpayee have warned of ’dire consequences* if the mosque is restored. On the other hand, all non-BJP political parties are unanimous on restoring the mosque.
In the meanwhile the Home Ministry and the Law Ministry are still working on the modalities of banning commu nal parties and they have on their list RSS. VHP, Shiv Sena Bajrang Dal, Jamaal-el slam I Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) and Islamic Sewak Sangh SS)
