Tight security in Delhi ahead of Babri Masjid demolition anniversary

Security has been tightened in the national capital ahead of the anniversary of Babri Masjid demolition with various organisations planning to hold meetings here tomorrow.    

Adequate police personnel have been deployed across the city to ensure that no untoward incident take place, a senior police official said.

"We have taken adequate precaution to ensure that the day passes off peacefully. There are a number of programmes organised by several outfits. We appeal to them to hold their programmes peacefully," the official said.

While some 'Hindutva' groups are observing the day as 'Vijay Diwas', Muslim organisations are holding protests and demanding punishment for those involved in the demolition of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya on December six, 1992.

The All India Babri Masjid Re-building Committee has organised a dharna at Jantar Mantar at around noon demanding rebuilding of a mosque at Ayodhya.

They will also submit a memorandum to president Pratibha Patil demanding action against BJP leader LK Advani. Another organisation Rashtravadi Sena will observe tomorrow as 'Vijay Diwas' (victory day).
