A massive rally taken out by the Muslim Youth League (MYL) on the Kozhikode beach on Sunday evening, “against the politics of hatred”, turned out to be a platform for the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) to avow its stand vis-à-vis the Ram Temple consecration at Ayodhya and the socio-political fanfare around it.
Without mincing words, the IUML reiterated that the Ayodhya consecration and the celebration of Ram by the BJP and its ancillaries were politically motivated and dangerous for the country. Reminding the people that the Ram Temple had been built at Ayodhya after razing the Babri Masjid, the Muslim League warned that the BJP would finish off India’s secular stature if Prime Minister Narendra Modi is given one more chance.
Even while unequivocally condemning the politicisation of Ayodhya consecration, IUML State president Syed Sadikali Shihab Thangal and national general secretary P.K. Kunhalikutty made it clear that the Muslim League’s respect is always proffered to the Hindu faith and its deities.
