India court orders trial of top official for historic mosque flattening
By: Nizam Hussain
NEW DELHI, India: An Indian court has issued orders that former
deputy prime minister Lal Krishna Advani be tried for his alleged role
in the 1992 pulling down of a 16th century mosque in Ayodhya that
sparked deadly riots between Muslims and Hindus.
The order by the Allahabad high court in northern Uttar Pradesh state
was made after two Muslims challenged a lower court's 2003 acquittal
of Advani and others due to lack of evidence.
The Allahabad court said Advani, who is accused of encouraging
thousands of Hindu fanatics to demolish the Babri mosque in the town
of Ayodhya, and others must appear before a lower court on July 28.
The Babri mosque was razed on December 6, 1992, sparking Muslim-Hindu
riots in which nearly 2,000 people were killed, mostly Muslims.
Since then the entire complex has been under the authority of the
Supreme Court and guarded by about 200 policemen and paramilitary
personnel.
