Congress moves Supreme Court in Places of Worship Act (PoWA) pleas: After many centuries, Hindus are now waking up to reclaim their places of worship marking a significant resurrection of their ancient civilization. What’s important is that it is a landmark attempt which would send a message in history that the civilisational colonialism was razed to ground and ancient glory was revived not by violence or force but legal recourse while continuing to serve the society and hold national progress.
But this momentous change in the annals of history is something that the deceptive actors in politics can not digest. The Congress which turned on the path of caste division and Muslim appeasement from being a political and opportunist Hindu, has reached out to the Supreme Court seeking to intervene in cases filed against the validity of Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act 1991 (PoWA). The act claims to preserve the character of religious places as they existed on August 15, 1947, however, by barring the Hindu petitioners, it has been causing hindrance in the delivery of Justice.
The Congress has argued in its intervention that it was in majority when the legislation was enacted by the Parliament. It has said that the PoWA is essential to maintain the communal harmony and secularism of the country.
At the outset it must be understood that secularism means all religions are equal in the eyes of law and government. This makes political parties obliged to this very modern Indian concept of secularism. But with this intervention, Congress has now chosen a side. Although, they have been spitting at the face of this great inherent civilisation of Bharat, this time they have crossed a line because the fight against PoWA came at a juncture when the inconfidence of our civilisation, due to 900 years of Imperialism, was coming to an end.
The awakened Hindus were taking back what belonged to them. Besides, when Kapil Sibal moved deferment plea before the Supreme Court requesting not to proclaim justice on Ram Mandir ahead of 2019, as he argued that it would benefit the BJP, Congress distanced from him stating that it was his personal matter. But this time, it’s the party that is standing to safeguard the only hurdle in civilisational reclamation.
In fact, this has been the history of Congress to not only fool but mock the Hindus at face because of their mentality of getting divided and lured by individual interests rather than the community interest.
For those unversed or have forgot Congress’ potential, it was Congress which came up with the Communal Violence Bill which stipulated that in any riot, majority Hindus would be considered as accused and would face the burnt, it was Congress which devised ‘Bhagwa Aatankwad‘ (boogie of Hindu/Saffron terror), to demonise Hindus and give a shield to Islamic terrorism.
It was Congress whose leader Rahul Gandhi brazenly made an anti-Hindu statement in the Parliament saying, “wo jo khud ko Hindu kehte hai, 24 ghante Hinsa karte hai”..,it was Congress which brought PoWA and feels proud about it, it was Congress which submitted affidavit in the court that Ram is myth and never existed, it was Congress that nodded to destroy Ram Setu and it was Congress that charged baton on Sadhus, including Dharmsamrat Karpatri ji maharaj, who were peacefully demanding the ban on cow slaughter. It was the Congress which wanted to bring the anti-Hindu Communal Violence Bill 2011 to frame the Hindu majority as a villain in communal cases.
If anything left, it was Congress, its president’s son and Karnataka Minister Priyank Kharge who not only extended support to Udhayanidhi Stalin’s ‘eradicate Sanatan Dharma’ remark but also repeated the same.
There is not an inch of room for doubt that Congress would harm Hindus whenever it could. The challenge to PoWA is essential. As argued in the plea against the act, its Section 4 bars anyone to go to court against any place of worship that was changed before 1947.

Besides, the PoWA was crafted by ignoring the civilisation aspirations of Bharat. By no means, one can be morally or legally barred from reliving their ancient civilisation.
Moreover, PoWA seems secular by only its name as it was specifically enacted to preserve mosques beneath which our Hindu, Buddhist and Jain sites are present.
AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has said in his intervention that the curtailment of PoWA will open the floodgates of litigation against mosques. This is the very essence of Congress’ petition though not the same in punctuation.
Now the question that lingers is if the Muslim side argues that no temple was destroyed by their masters and country’s invaders, then why do they have a fear of litigation? In fact those who have been involved in any title suit know very well that the first direction that comes from the court regarding any dispute is maintenance of status quo.
Simply put, if any person goes to court challenging a mosque, until the case is decided, the mosque will be in its shape and would not be legally touched.
So be it Muslims or Congress, their greatest fear is that if these litigations start flooding the Supreme Court, the erased history will unravel. The kind of oppression including, plunder and vandalisation of temple, rapes or women and teenage girls and humiliation that Hindus faced, would get documented with each temple’s reclamation.
So far the world only knew of Kashi, Ayodhya and Mathura as prominent sites that were converted. But with new cases coming to light, Congress fears that the history that they downplayed for the last 75 years would start unveiling and their real vile face will come to the fore. It is again a reminder to Hindus to wake up for their rights and their temples as they may not be visible today, as there may be some dome shaped foul structure standing there, our lord, your deity is waiting for you. With each litigation, they are sending you a message of not falling into the trap of this sick secularism because real secularism comes with a sense of justice for all religions, not subjugation of one to politically and socially benefit the other.
