Mulayam under pressure of Muslim Law Board
It is unfortunate in our country that even judicial proceedings against any VIP can be intruppted, adversely effected,delayed to cause automatic death of the suit,preponed or postponed , all at the whims and fancies of political or financial or physical giants. Position of judiciary is at the mercy of mischievous and selfish leaders of either political or social arena.This is why proceedings in Bofors case against Rajiv Gandhi was delayed and twisted as per change of government and lastly the entire drama ended with the closure of the case by Court. Similarly Proceedings in Chara Ghotala case against RJD supremo Mr. Lal Prasad Yadav,the Railway Minister has been facing rough weather for last almost two decades and Laloo is successful in management of the case in his favour. Many Babus have been made scapegoats but none could harm in any way to Laloo.There are numerous illustration of manipulation in VIP cases. Mr. Narsimha Raw initiated cases against his political rivals but failed to penalise anyone. A lot of drama occurs , media gives maximum coverage to such high-profile news but ultimately all such cases are punctureed in the court by heavy weaights.Babri Masjid dispute has been in courts for last five decades and more and no judgement is visible in near future. Even if court decides the fate anyway , none is ready to obey the same .Similarly in the same context I am astonished to know that All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB)has been putting pressure through verbal and written follow up on UP chief Minister Mr. Mulayam Singh Yadav for issuance of notification for constitution of a special court to hold trial of top BJP leaders involved in Babri Mosque demolition conspiracy .Law Board further revealed how Mr Mulayam promised several times for such measures to mobilise Muslim votes. The unfortunate incidents of Babri Mosque demolition occured in 1992 and during last 14 years so many change of government have taken place but no decision in final has been delivered so far. So many times Mr. L. K. Adwani acquitted and so many times charges framed against him. It is nothing but political tug of war and judiciary is made the costly victim.Politicians have spent no stone unturned to humiliate and denigrade judiciary whenever their vested interest jeopardised by judgement of any court. They do not hesitate to belittle judiciary by changing the law book with retrospective effect. They are anxious to alter the basisc structure of constitution by introducing Right of Reservation decisions in the 9th schedule .They did the same thing in Shah Bano case to appease Muslims of the country. Mulayam also can go to any extent to secure Muslim votes. Now election is at hand and hence leaders of Muslim Law Board trying to build pressure of Mulayam .It is better to hit the iron when it is hot.Who cares for democracy or judiciary.Who cares for Mahatma Gandhi principles of Bible/Geeta whose oath political leaders take when they form the government or plead in the court.Even opposition parties will not dare protest Mulayam 's decision if it pertains to Muslims.However I hope good senses will prevail upon Mr. Mulayam Singh Yadav and he will not succumb to any pressure and allow the judiciary to move in its own way.RJD could not survive in Bihar under the vetern leadership of Lalu who left no stone unturned to sustain Muslim votes in his beg but failed to even sustain Yadav votes. Similarly Mulayam has seen his fate in election held in the past month.It is therefore desirable that he is not misguided by Muslim Law Board politics and let the judiciary decide its own course of action.
