Congress leader Sonia Gandhi has mentioned in her memoirs the changes that took place in North India and the demolition of a mosque in Ayodhya in 1992. Sonia Gandhi told that when she was watching the demolition of the mosque on television in Ayodhya, she was moved to tears. She said that at that time she understood that a long battle would now have to be fought to preserve the secular nation that Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and their associates had striven to create. At the time of the change in North India, the claim about a mosque built in the city of Ayodhya that it was built on the remains of an ancient Hindu temple was gaining momentum. The claim was gaining momentum among radical, right-wing Hindu nationalist organizations and political groups. Sonia Gandhi reported. Then in December 1992, supporters of this movement, including leaders of the BJP, violently demolished the mosque. VIDEO: Delhi MP TRIHUS SUDHAN (VIDEO)
