In Ayodhya what is the business of army officers of Islamic countries?

Asks VHP president Shri Ashok Singhal

Allahabad, Feb. 5: I have received information from Ayodhya today that some Army and Air Force officers belonging to various countries visited the Ramjanmabhoomi at about 4.00 pm for inspection. The names, which I came to know, included Shri Suhail Abbas (Brigadier of Bangladesh Army), Mohammed Ibrahim (Afghanistan), Mohd. Abdul Wasim (Mangolia) and T.K. Pillai (Australia). They included three Air Force officers and six brigadier rank army officers. The names of the officers from Indonesia and Malaysia could not be known. Shri Ashok Kumar Gupt, Joint Secretary, Government of India, and Shri R.P. Shishodia took them there. The information that I have received so far is that these persons had gone there to study a national issue of India. The issue of Shri Ramjanmabhoomi is purely of Hindus. Does the Sonia Government wish to make it an international issue? Such apprehensions have developed in the mind of the saints of Ayodhya. It is an attack on the sovereignty and integrity of India. The Sonia government has already denied the historicity of Shri Ram. They believe when Shri Ram does not exist how could there be the existence of Ram Sehtu? They also said that the war between Shri Ram and Ravana never took place. While questioning the historicity of Shri Ram, their intention regarding Ayodhya was also clear. They do not accept the existence of Shri Ramjanmabhoomi too. Calling the army officers of Islamic nations is an interference in the internal affairs and security of India. The incident would also have an adverse effect on the case going on in Lucknow bench of Allahabad High Court.

The Vishwa Hindu Parishad strongly condemns this attitude of the government and demands it to answer the Hindus why it committed such a mischief? I also appeal to the Members of Parliament of the country to get it investigated thoroughly.
