RE: LET THERE BE A NEW DAWN OF PEACE


When it comes to finding a solution for Ayodhya / Ram Mandir dispute, that is acceptable to ALL - and it is also a FACE SAVING solution - , Supreme Court may have no alternative than to go ahead and appoint a panel of MEDIATORS , on its own


( I have suggested 4 names to SC and to the parties concerned )



Dear Hon Justice Bobdeji ,


Everybody has thrown the ball in your court !


Time to play !


=====================================================================================
We  can  do…….


And we must 


While hearing the Ayodhya dispute case yesterday, Hon Justice Bobde said :

“  We have no control over the past . We can only do something about what exists in the present , that is the dispute “

Sources :

[ A ]

Shri Tushar Mehta ( tusharmehta.asg@gmail.com ) – Solicitor General for UP , said :

“ The court should refer the matter for mediation only when there exists an element of settlement “



[ B ]

Senior advocate, C S Vaidyanathan ,


appearing for Ram Lalla Virajman, said :

“  In a case of this nature, when Ayodhya is accepted as Ram Janmbhoomi, if any mediation is to take place, nobody can agree to some other place as Ram Janmsthan

That is non-negotiable.


Only thing to negotiate is an alternate place for a mosque. For this, we will be willing to crowdsource funds. This practically ended any scope for negotiation before it could begin

Mediation has not yielded any results in the past despite repeated attempts “



[ C ]

Senior Advocate, Rajeev Dhavan , ( rdhavan@gmail.com ) , appearing for the Muslim parties said :


“ There is no difference between court adjudicated verdict or a compromise which would
  result in a decree


  Both would be binding on the parties


  I would go one step further and suggest that it should be contempt of court if anyone
  reported about developments in the mediation process “


Muslim Bodies supported the court’s suggestion of mediation and said it should be done in-camera and nobody should be allowed to disclose the proceedings till the final report is given ( - like locking up the members of the jury in a room  ? Possible )



[ D ]

Supreme Court :

#  Asked all the parties concerned for the names of possible mediators for reaching an
    amicable settlement . “ Give names of mediators by today. We will pass orders shortly .


    Instead of one mediator, there could be a panel of mediators to thrash out the issue “



#  Media need not talk about what efforts are going on and what developments have taken
    place. We are considering whether it should be reported at all. It will not be a gag order
    but there should be confidentiality of the mediation process



Justice Chandrachud said :

    It could be difficult to ensure secrecy of the mediation process. In the event of reaching a
    compromise, could it be binding on the public, who are not parties to the case ?



Justice Bobde said  :

    “  You are pre-judging it .

       We are trying for mediation because it is not about a land dispute but involves
       sentiments and faith of people

       We are conscious of the gravity and importance of the dispute and its impact on the
       body polity  of the country

      It is all about mind, heart and feelings. But the law mandates that the court try and
      heal the minds and hearts.

      We cannot understand how anyone can reject it outright

      Desirability of a negotiated settlement cannot be ignored

      Why do you presume that you have to compromise ?



[ E ]

Dr Subramanian Swamy  ( swamy39@gmail.com ) said :

“ Any compromise must be within certain parameters – that all the land belongs to the
  Government and can be given to anyone to construct a temple “

=========================================================


From yesterday’s proceedings, the following is apparent  :

#    By reaching a “ negotiated settlement “ , all parties are afraid of being accused of a “
      Sell Out “ by their respective constituencies !


      Eg : “ If this is what you managed to get, why did you play with our feelings for 70
      years ? “



#   They would all like to “ Save their faces “ by having someone else ( even Supreme Court
     or a panel of mediators ) hand out a decision , so that they can say , “ What can we do ?

     We tried our level best !  We have to obey the law of the land “



#   They may not give names of any mediator/s , and start a new round of “ negotiations “
     in respect of the panel members !


     They would feel “ relieved “ if the Supreme Court selects those mediators on its own

     [  I have given 4 names of eminent persons in my earlier mail  ]



#   Supreme Court itself may be wanting to hand out a decree along the lines of my email

     [  A Home for Ram  ]

 

     but may not want to appear “ arbitrary – biased – dictatorial “


     For SC as well , it is necessary to appear “ Rational “  by adopting a well established
     legal process !


=========================================================

Dear

Tushar Mehta  /  C S Vaidyanathan /  Rajeev Dhavan /  Subramanian Swamy  :


I urge you to enable “ Birth of Peace “ in Ayodhya , as described in :

Subject: LET THERE BE A NEW DAWN OF PEACE


After a Surgical / Non-Military / Preemptive , AIR strike, on a Foreign soil, it is time for a :


Healing / Humanitarian / Pra-active , GROUND strike , on Indian soil !


It is time to implement the dream of a secular India that Bapu cherished his entire life


For Bapu, Ram lived in the hearts of millions - no matter where they lived


A  Home  for  Ram 


Past :

In Ismail Faruqui judgement on Oct 24, 1994 , the SC upheld validity of acquisition of Ayodhya land but had said :

“  This is a matter suited essentially to a  RESOLUTION  BY  NEGOTIATIONS  which does not
   end in a winner or loser ; while adjudication leads to that end
  
   It is in the  NATIONAL  INTEREST  that there is  NO LOSER , at the end of the process

  This can be achieved by a NEGOTIATED SOLUTION  on the basis of which a decree can be
  obtained in terms of such solution in these suits
 
  Unless a solution is found which leaves  EVERY ONE  HAPPY , there cannot be beginning for
  a continued  HARMONY  between ‘ We The People of India ‘  “

 
Present :

On 26 Feb 2019 , while hearing the Ayodhya title suit, Supreme Court urged for a “ mediated solution

Justice S A Bobde said :

“ These are title suits which do not involve private property . It involves public right to
  Worship


  Section 89 of the CPC provides for court-mandated resolution of dispute through mediation


  We are considering it seriously. We would like to have it even if there is 1 % chance of
  Success


  We would like to know WHO ARE THE PERSONS who can mediate 
  It shall be strictly confidential


  Where it appears to the court that there exist  ELEMENTS OF A SETTLEMENT which may be
  acceptable to the parties, the court shall formulate the terms of settlement and give them
  to the parties for their observations and after receiving the observations of the parties, the
court may reformulate the terms of a possible settlement and refer the same for
 arbitration, conciliation, judicial settlement including settlement through Lok Adalat , or
 mediation “




Future :

      At the disputed Ayodhya site , creation of a “ World Peace Complex “ comprising of :

·               Ram Temple    (  for Hindus   )

·               Mosque           (  for Muslims  )

·               Church           (  for Christians )

·               Temple           (  for Buddhists )

·               Synagogue      (  for Jews  )

·                 Akshar-Dham   (  for Jains )

·                Gurudwara       (  for  Shikhs  )

·               University for Comparative Studies of World Religions


o        Hospitals ( like Netralaya / Hridayalaya )

o        India Heritage / History Museum

·             Business Convention-cum-Industry Exhibition Centre


·             Tourist Complex



·              And right in the center of the complex , a giant statue of the “ Father of the Nation 

         {    Source :    Reach - Out Time   ?    -  20  Sept  2013    }

 

 

 


Persons who can mediate  :

#   Dr Vishwanath Karad     (  Chairman , Peace University  )

#   Aamir Khan                  (  Actor  / Social Worker  )

#   Malala  Yousafzai          ( Nobel Peace Prize Winner  /  Terror Victim )

#   Kailash Satyarthy         (  Nobel Prize Winner  / children's rights activist )




Message  from  India :

    Entire world is engulfed with violence . Militants and terrorists are killing innocent people
    everywhere .


Persons with no knowledge of the non-violent teachings of the various
    religions, are inciting hatred among people, in the name of religions


    Among all these , we plan to construct at the disputed site, a WORLD  PEACE  COMPLEX ,
    which will stand for respect for all religions and harmonious living for entire mankind
