Deep Dive with Abhinav Khare delves into the credibility of the AIMPLB in raising an objection to the Supreme Court verdict on Ayodhya and the motive behind the claim

The All India Muslim Personal Law Board has filed a review petition against the Supreme Court judgement on Ayodhya. The AIMPLB is a private organization. It neither has elections, nor has government representation nor does it does it require any qualifications for membership. It is a non-profit organization set up 47 years ago during the Indira Gandhi era, whose validity is extremely questionable. The members of this organizations support terrorist outfits like Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). They portray themselves as the mouthpiece for the Indian Muslims which is nothing but a figment of their imagination. The court has given its judgement after years of accumulated evidences and hearings by a bench of five esteemed judges. Instead of gracefully accepting the judgement, they are now trying to instigate violence amongst people. This reminds me of a poem by Ramdhari Singh “Dinkar”.

 


कृष्ण की चेतावनी

-रामधारी सिंह "दिनकर"
 

वर्षों तक वन में घूम-घूम,

बाधा-विघ्नों को चूम-चूम,

सह धूप-घाम, पानी-पत्थर,

पांडव आये कुछ और निखर।

सौभाग्य न सब दिन सोता है,

देखें, आगे क्या होता है।


मैत्री की राह बताने को,

सबको सुमार्ग पर लाने को,

दुर्योधन को समझाने को,

भीषण विध्वंस बचाने को,

भगवान् हस्तिनापुर आये,

पांडव का संदेशा लाये।


‘दो न्याय अगर तो आधा दो,

पर, इसमें भी यदि बाधा हो,

तो दे दो केवल पाँच ग्राम,

रक्खो अपनी धरती तमाम।

हम वहीं खुशी से खायेंगे,

परिजन पर असि न उठायेंगे!


दुर्योधन वह भी दे ना सका,

आशीष समाज की ले न सका,

उलटे, हरि को बाँधने चला,

जो था असाध्य, साधने चला।

जब नाश मनुज पर छाता है,

पहले विवेक मर जाता है।


हरि ने भीषण हुंकार किया,

अपना स्वरूप-विस्तार किया,

डगमग-डगमग दिग्गज डोले,

भगवान् कुपित होकर बोले-

‘जंजीर बढ़ा कर साध मुझे,

हाँ, हाँ दुर्योधन! बाँध मुझे।


This poem encapsulates how a certain group peacefully requests for what is rightfully theirs. There is no scope for a dispute here. So, it is only wise if we restrain ourselves from spreading hate and instigating any forms of violence. We should all gracefully accept the judgement and move on and be part of India’s economic progress. We should not indulge in petty politics and stay united, always!
