AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the possibilities of him attending the bhumi pujan ceremony at Ayodhya for construction of the Ram Mandir on August 5. Asaduddin Owaisi has said in a tweet, “Attending bhumi pujan in official capacity will be a violation of @PMOIndia’s constitutional oath. Secularism is part of the Basic Structure of Constitution. We can’t forget that for over 400 years Babri stood in Ayodhya it was demolished by a criminal mob in 1992.” The Babri Masjid was demolished in December 1992 by "kar sevaks" who claimed that the mosque in Ayodhya was built on the site of an ancient Ram temple.
