Honorable Vajpayeeji:

We are writing to you as Hindus/admirers of Hindu Dharma who have been deeply hurt by your apparent indifference to Hindu sentiments as regards the aspiration of millions of Hindus for the construction of Shree Ram Temple at the birth-site of Bhagwan Ram in Ayodhya.

The recent premeditated and preplanned barbaric act of burning alive of 58 Hindu karsevaks who were returning from a religious ceremony at Ayodhya on the Sabarmati Express in Godhara by Muslim terrorists should have evoked an immediate, unequivocal and stern response from a leader of your stature. Sadly, this did not happen. On the contrary, like your predecessors you chose to rub salt in the wounds of victims by asking Vishwa Hindu Parishad to suspend its plans to start construction of Shree Ram Temple on the undisputed land near the Ram Janmabhoomi! Statements like 'Gujarat riots are a disgrace on the nation' while maintaining silence on the ghastly killings of 58 innocent Hindus- the root cause of these riots, only pamper and encourage the aggressors.

If performing of religious ceremony at Ayodhya to facilitate unobstructed construction of Shree Ram Temple is sufficient reason to provoke the minority community into torching Hindus alive and it does not touch your conscience then, that day may not be far when mere intellectual disagreements of Hindus with the Muslim terrorists would be considered as valid grounds on which Hindus could be persecuted further.

When you and your party came to power on the blood and sweat of many Hindu workers, when you, L. K. Advaniji and other colleagues rode to victory on the strength of your support to Ayodhya movement, when Advaniji took out famous Ratha Yaatra and thundered time and again that Ram Janmabhoomi was a matter of faith and no court could sit on its judgment, when your party passed a resolution supporting construction of Shree Ram Temple at the Ram Janmabhoomi in its Palampur convention, we sincerely believed that your victory would result in end of minority-appeasement. We believed that a government under your able leadership would deliver on its promise of "appeasement to none and justice to all'. We believed that an Atal Behari Vajpayee led government would end constant injustice meted out to Hindus by successive governments. We believed that a government under you would worry more about the progress of nation and less about vote-bank politics.

Unfortunately, you have shaken our faith in your party and more importantly in yourself. Your government's initiatives have been hardly different than those of your predecessor governments, be it the hijacking of Indian Airlines plane, the attack on Jammu and Kashmir Secretariat or the dastardly attack on the Parliament of Bharat and now the most despicable pre-planned attack at Godhara. Specifically, your government, very much like its predecessors, has responded to these acts of blatant terrorism by either giving in to the wishes of the terrorists, or by plain inaction, or as in the Godhara case, asking the Hindu victims to show restrain. Political expediency and love of governing power seem to have clouded the vision of the BJP leadership much the same way as that of the leaders of all the preceding governments and the party that claimed to provide governance with difference seems to have been reduced to a party with no difference.

We, the Hindus/admirers of Hindu Dharma from the USA and all over the world appeal to your conscience and exhort you to:

(1) Show the courage to call a spade and declare your determination to apprehend, try and punish severely the masterminds and culprits of the Godhara carnage without any political consideration.

(2) Respect the sentiment of Hindus by working to remove all obstacles from the path of construction of Shree Ram Temple in a time bound fashion.

(3) Hand over the undisputed 67 acres of land to Shree Ram Janmabhoomi Nyaas immediately and without further delay.

(4) Allow movement of construction material and constructed parts from the Shree Ram Temple workshop to the undisputed land immediately.

(5) Allow Shree Ram Janmabhoomi Nyaas and Vishwa Hindu Parishad to start construction of Shree Ram Temple on the above-mentioned undisputed land without any governmental or other interference.

(6) Establish a special court to hear on a day to day basis the cases related to the disputed land which measures approximately 60 ft. x 80 ft. and have a judgment in a predetermined time period.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
