Editor,
If leading the Ramjanmabhoomi ‘movement’ with ‘successful’ demolition of the Babri Masjid on 6 December, 1992 form the most colourful feather on the cap of the BJP, that enabled a mere 2-MP party to the seat of central governance within a span of just seven years; if that very episode finds sanction by the judiciary on the basis of ‘belief of Hindus’, with the state apparatus ‘leading from the front’ while the consecrating the Ram temple – isn’t it most natural that one of the direct participants of that ‘historic’ act, standing atop the dome of the mosque being his ‘greatest achievement’, would be offered a Rajya Sabha ticket?
After all, he is a ‘freedom fighter’ of sorts in ‘New India’ who had literally played a ‘constructive’ role right on the ‘ground’ in order to ‘liberate’ Bharat Mata from 500 years of ‘bondage’. So he indeed deserves a ‘reward’ of a berth in the Rajya Sabha immediately after the bestowing of the country’s highest civilian honour to the main architect of the ‘movement’ who started it all through the Rath Yatra.
