Ayodhya attack: Protest turns violent in New Delhi
Wednesday, July 6 2005 14:23 Hrs (IST) - World Time -

New Delhi: A protest by BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) and VHP (Vishwa Hindu Parishad) activists against the terrorist attack in Ayodhya turned violent in New Delhi today (July 6, 2005) as hundreds of demonstrators clashed with security personnel, prompting police to use tear gas shells and water cannons.

The protesters overturned police barricades near Jantar Mantar, the venue of the demonstration, just as BJP President L K Advani arrived to participate in the programme.

Spotlight: The Ayodhya crisis

Police burst several tear gas shells, used water cannons and brought the situation under control. However, the activists continued to raise slogans against the attackers.

Several BJP leaders, including V K Malhotra, Sushma Swaraj, Madanlal Khurana, Harsh Vardhan and Jagdish Mukhi, besides scores of supporters, later courted arrest.

Addressing the protestors, Advani said yesterday's (July 5, 2005) terrorist attack had once again brought the Ayodhya movement to the forefront.

"The Ram temple will be constructed there (at the disputed site). If the Supreme Court gives a favourable verdict, it is good. Otherwise, this will be done after talks between the two communities (Hindus and Muslims)," he said.
