This a Joke...
by imran patel on Sep 25, 2007 11:14 PM

Doesn't Mr.Togadia know that it is next to impossible to prove a Negative. It is like saying to an accused, "You are Guilty, but prove your innocence".

The argument of Ram's existence is a matter of belief and that is where it should be. If Hindus belief that he existed, fine with me. People may not share that believe but we must respect the right of others to have a belief. End of Story.

Now coming to Mr.Togadia. This case of Ram Sethu is like a blessing for him and his junkies to make themselves important. If they want to make this belief a "Political" and "Judicial" issue, then they are walking on a slippery slope. You will have to prove the history of the Bridge in the court of LAW and along with that the History of RAM. People may have strong beliefs, but they may not be proved in the court of LAW. Just as the belief of Virgin Mary is strong amongst Christians and Muslims, it does not stand the test in a Secular Judicial setting.

The VHP/BJP needs to come with some other reason to prevent the Ram Sethu Bridge. It can be environmental, financial, National Security or logistical.

Using the belief in RAM is a court of LAW is a very weak case. There may be political turmoil but it does not help the nation in any way.
