Hindus, Muslims reject Rao formula

Ayodhya admn allows puja at makeshift temple
NEW DELHI, Dec 28: Hindu Citesters clashed with police re today as Hindu and Muslim leaders rejected an attempt by Prime Minister P V Naraslmha Rao to lorgc a compromise over a toppled mosque In Ayodhya. reports ATT
The Press Trust of India (m) reported meanwhile that the authorities tn Ayodhya had allowed a first batch of Hindu holy men to pray today at a makeshift Hindu temple erected on the rubble of the Bahri Mosque.
Police arrested some 2,000 activists of the pro-Htndu Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP, Indian People’s Party) as the protesters turned a New Delhi district Into a virtual battlefield
to step up their anti mosque campaign.
Nine BJP activists and several officers were injured tn the two-hour clash during which police used water cannons and tear gas to disperse the protesters.
The BJP said today's action was also to protest the arrest of party leader Lal Krishna Advani. who had been in cue tody since the Moghul-built mosque was toppled on December 8.
The clashes came In the wake of a government an nounecment Sunday that ft was taking over the disputed site in Ayodhya and that two trusts would be set up shortly to build a mosque and a temple
on the land.
The IMP, which has spearheaded the six-year campaign which led to the destruction of the Babri Masjid, has warned Rao's government against trying to rebuild the mosque or relocate the makeshift Hindu temple put up on the site.
Hindus believe the toppled Ayodhya Mosque was built by Moghul invaders in 1528 after razing a temple there to warrior-king Lord Rama. Muslims dispute the claim.
The December 6 destructions of the mosque sparked Hindu-Muslim rioting which left more that 1,150 people dead across India.
Rao denied today that he had granted permission to Hindus to visit the makeshift temple in federally-governed Ayodhya saying the town administration had taken the decision, PTI said.
A court in Uttar Pradesh state, where Ayodhya is located, is to decide whether to let Hindu devotees visit the temple, although PTI reported that 75 people, including 15 Hindu holy men. had been allowed to pray there for an hour today.
"It is not up to us to decide. It is for the court." Rao'said in the southern city of Trivandrum as the BJP, communists and Muslims rejected his compromise over the disputed site.
"This will not solve the dispute, it will only complicate the matter further," said the BJP, referring to the acquisition of the site by New Delhi and its plans to build both a temple and mosque there.
"Hindus will not be satisfied with a temple at any spot They want a temple on the same site," the BJP added.
. Ahmed Bukhari, a deputy Imam or priest of New Delhi's biggest mosque, the Jama Masjid, said the mosque should be rebuilt at the same site.
"We are shocked and surprised by the decision," said Syed Shahabuddin, a leader of a panel espousing the Muslim cause.
The Islamic panel tn a resolution today said it would challenge in court New Delhi's decision to acquire the site adding that Rao was backing out of his pledge to rebuild the mosque by allowing Hindus to offer prayers there.
