Places of Worship Act- 1991- Fraud with Article 14, 15, 19
1991- Siege under weight of pseudo secularism and motivated agenda to appease the minority and to disrespect the Sanatan archaeology and religious places, an act was introduced by Home Minister S B Chawhan under the leadership of PM Narshimbha Rao of Congress in 1991 amidst the stiff resistance from opposition. The event in parliament ended with unceremonious passage of the bill and declaration of a Places of Worship Act -1991. This act took every right and glory of Sanatan civilization in India.
Needless
to say, the act was illegal, deplorable and an abuse on to the right of Sanatan
Values.
The
legality of this act was standing on invalid ground and was under scrutiny even
before it was introduced. As this law was related to places of pilgrimages or
burial grounds, that pertains to the State List. But the Union government
choose to use its residuary power under Union List to circumvent this
invalidity and supersede the State rights and went ahead to enact this law.
Objective
of act: -
The Act declared that the religious character of a place of worship shall
continue to be the same as it was on August 15, 1947. It also provided for the
maintenance of the religious character of such a place of worship as on that
day. It means that all suits, appeals or any other court proceedings regarding
converting the character of a place of worship, which are pending before any
court or Government authority on August 15, 1947, will cease to exist as soon
as the law comes into force. No further legal proceedings can be instituted.
While
doing so it treated the Ram Janma Bhoomi issue as exception.
In
simple words, this act has legalize the illegal destruction, plunder and
desecration of thousands of temple. The independence of India and transfer of
power to Indian is meaningless when it comes to restoration of cultural and
civilization value. Some of the oft repeated and known temple where plunder
have been historically and archaeologically recorded and yet constitutional
illegality is legalized through circuitous route by circumventing the original
constitution.

Logical
to say that the spirit of constitution enshrined under article 14, 15, 16 were
totality violated and no scrutiny was made for nearly three decades thereafter.
Article
14 requires
that all of the rights and freedoms set out in
the Act must be protected and applied without discrimination.
Article
15 of
the Indian Constitution prohibits discrimination of Indians on
basis of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth.
Article
19
The Constitution of India provides the right of freedom,
given in article 19 with the view of guaranteeing individual
rights
Imagine
in India, Hindu cannot claim to enjoy any of three fundamental article in
respect to restoring the dignity, ancestral legacy and religious freedom. And
both Parliament and Judicial system presided over this plunder of
constitutionality.
The
shamelessness and numbness of system goes on to provide penal provision. The
provision is for both who defies this bar or conspire to defy the bar. An
absolutely outrageous and despicable treatment meted to Hindu Sanatan Samaj.
Penal
Provision: -
Anyone who defies this act and propose to change the nature of the place of
worship will be liable to be prosecuted. The Act provides for imprisonment up
to three years and a fine for anyone contravening the provision of the act.
The
act further made draconian provision by enlisting equal penal provision for
those also who are found to be abetting or participating in a criminal
conspiracy to commit this offence, even if the offence is not committed.
To
say, freedom to claim, reclaim, doubt, dispute and demand were all snatched
under this act and arbitrary penal provision were inserted to deny fundamental
right.
The
wrong has to be reverted. The constitution and law book cannot be left to the
discretion of those who has motivated agenda. India has culture. It has
civilization. It is older than a recorded history of world. We should decide
and make law that protect the cultural and civilization value of India.
BJP
had vociferously protested in 1991 but was defeated by the majority-ism of
those days. The conscience of Sanatan Samaj has voted BJP into power with
absolute majority. It is now incumbent upon the BJP to restore the lost
glory and revive the Sanatan Ethos.
