The ghost of Ayodhya is looming large on the minds of the ruling coalition. In the last meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), chaired by the Prime Minister, home minister P. Chidambaram was briefed about the possible deployment of paramilitary forces to handle the turbulent situation in J&K and to tackle the Maoists.
Someone raised the question of possible deployment of security forces in the wake of the upcoming verdict of the Allahabad High Court on the Ram Janmabhoomi issue. The meeting was unanimous that the government could not afford to repeat the mistake of the Narasimha Rao government. Caution was the need of the hour. During the meeting, Chidambaram briefed the CCS members about preparations of the home ministry to tackle any sort of situation that might arise after the court verdict.
The government has listed 35 sensitive cities where communal harmony could be jeopardised. Therefore, an additional secretary-level officer has been deputed to monitor the situation particularly in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Uttarakhand. The Centre has sent an advisory to these states to be on their guard.
The Centre has assured Uttar Pradesh of all help in case things threaten to get out of hand. Though the government has clearly stated that it is not possible to send 400 battalions keeping in view the tight security arrangements for the Commonwealth Games, it would try to do its best to provide all the support that the UP administration might need.
Sources in the UPA reveal that the government has conducted a survey through local Intelligence agencies. What concerns the Congress think tank is the political battle that will be fought. The party has sought parallel reports from state Congress units. On the basis of these reports, Sonia Gandhi has advised the government to make foolproof arrangements to handle any eventuality.
The BJP and RSS are understandably hopeful of making political capital out of the issue once more. The Congress believes that if the verdict goes in favour of the Waqf Board, then it would be easy to handle the situation. UP Congress has cautioned the party high command about the political tactics that might be adopted by the BJP to cash in on this emotive issue. The BJP might try to polarise voters in ensuing election in Bihar. Pressure is mounting on the government to act in a decisive manner. The Congress is of the view that if peace is disturbed, the BJP will try to derive political mileage. The ruling coalition is already worried over alleged failure of the government in tackling inflation and it does not want to concede any more political ground to the Opposition. The onus now rests on Chidambaram. Intelligence chiefs have warned that Azamgarh, Mathura, Kashi, Bhopal, Indore, Raipur, Delhi, Nagpur, Gorakhpur and Ranchi are among the more sensitive areas. The Prime Minister wanted to know about preparations of the home ministry regarding UP's demand for 400 battalions of paramilitary forces.
The home ministry, in its reply, has said that it is ready to send 40 battalions of paramilitary forces and 15 units of Rapid Action Force. The government has also sought reports from home secretaries of different states. They have been told to remain vigilant and be ready to handle any situation.
Amid all this, the RSS has already started chanting of Hanuman Chalisa in temples across India. The chanting will reach a crescendo on September 16. The BJP has called off its planned Jammu conference.
However, the apex body of the BJP is not in favour of a direct confrontation on the issue of building a temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya. It has even advised its front organisations such as VHP and Bajrang Dal to maintain peace even if the court delivers a verdict in favour of the Waqf Board and allots Hindus a piece of land near the disputed site. They have also sent overtures to Muslim groups to consider giving up their claims on Mathura and Kashi.
