zeigt sich Kalyan Singh. Der frühere hindunationalistische Premierminister des nordindischen Bundesstaates Uttar Pradesh hat die BJP verlassen, und will bei den anstehenden Wahlen für die linke Samajwadi Party kandidieren, die vor allem Anhegörige niedriger Kasten und Muslime wählen. Pikant: Während seiner Amtszeit wurde die Babri Moschee in Ayodhya zerstört. Der Vorfall führte zu Unruhen mit zahlreichen Toten und er vergiftet bis heute das Klima zwischen Hindus und Muslimen in Indien.

However, Kalyan Singh refused to go the full distance, stopping short of regretting the Babri demolition — a condition laid down by many Muslim leaders, including those belonging to SP. “I want to make it clear that I had taken moral responsibility for demolition of Babri Masjid on December 6, 1992 and had resigned from the post of chief ministership,” he said in Lucknow.

The former UP chief minister added, “While Muslims have a right to be proud of Islam, Hindus hae equal right to be proud of Hindutva. It is unfortunate that some people are creating fissures among these two faiths.”
