Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday said the Babri Masjid will never be rebuilt even as he attacked “Ramdrohis” for standing in the way of construction of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.
Addressing a rally in Barabanki, Adityanath recalled a slogan raised during the Ram temple agitation. (HT_PRINT)Addressing a rally in Barabanki, he equated the construction of the Babri Masjid with the day of ‘qayamat’ (doomsday), adding that the day would never come.
Without naming anyone, he started the attack saying,Learn to live strictly in Hindustan (In India you have to live by rules).
“We said ‘Ram lalla, hum ayenge, mandir wahi banayenge’ (Baby Ram, we will come and build the temple). Is the temple built or not? Any doubts?” He said
His remarks were met with chants of “Jai Shri Ram” from the audience.

“Doomsday (Doomsday) will never come, and hence the Babri structure will never be rebuilt. Those who dream of ‘doomsday’ day will rot, that day will come,” said the UP CM.
He also spoke of those whom he said ‘remembered Rama in times of crisis’.
“Some opportunistic people remember Lord Rama when faced with a crisis and then forget him. So, Lord Rama has also forgotten them. They will not succeed now, they will never advance now. These Ram traitors have no place now; those who are firing on Ram devotees have no place. Those who are dreaming of the Babri structure, I have told them that I never want that day to come.

“Don’t live for the last day. Learn to live by the rules in India. Follow the laws of the land. Otherwise, if one breaks the rules, the path will lead him straight to hell. If one dreams of breaking the law and going to heaven, his dream will never come true,” added the Yogi.
What is the Babri Masjid controversy?On November 9, 2019, the long-running Babri Masjid dispute was settled by a judgment of the Supreme Court of India. The court cleared the way for construction of a Ram temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya and directed that an alternative five-acre land be allotted for construction of a mosque elsewhere in the city.
The controversy over the site of the Babri Masjid is more than a century old. The mosque, a three-domed structure built by or on the orders of the Mughal emperor Babur, is claimed by Hindu groups to have been built after the demolition of an existing Ram temple.
The dispute took a legal turn in 1885 when a mahant approached the court seeking permission to build a cantonment outside the mosque, an application that was rejected.
In December 1949, idols of Lord Rama were installed inside the mosque and finally on December 6, 1992, the structure was demolished by a huge mob of Janata Kar Sevaks.
