Bhopal, February 02 (Pervez Bari): Two Hindu extremist youths who zealously participated in December 6, 1992 demolition of Babri Masjid, a historical mosque in Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh have embraced Islam. This has been reported by Indian national Urdu daily Rashtriya Sahara which carried the report in its Tuesday edition dated January 30. Maulana Kaleem Siddiqui, president of Jamiat Imam Waliullah Trust, disclosed the news in his interview with a research magazine, the paper added. Dharmendra and Balbeer came to the fold of Islam in the presence of President of the Trust. Their new Islamic names are Omar and Aamir respectively. The president of the Trust revealed that Dharmendra (Islamic name Omar), a resident of Sonipat, Haryana, had lost his sanity, just after the demolition of Babri Masjid when he urinated on the debris of the mosque. He further said, "A cleric friend of mine suggested to Dharmendra's father to embrace Islam if he wished his son to recover from his insane condition." As a result, both father and son embraced Islam and, as it happened, the son soon recovered his sanity back. While the other youth Balbeer (Aamir), who hailed from Panipat in Haryana, was in the very forefront of the group that demolished the Masjid. His father, a noble person, said angrily to him: "Why have you demolished the abode of God?" After his father died, he was in deep depression. He then called on Maulana Kaleem Siddiqui and directly uttered the Shahadah (an Islamic requirement at the time of embracing Islam) and took an oath that he would inaugurate a new Masjid every year on 6th December; the day Babri Masjid was demolished. He is at peace now, after having embraced Islam. Maulana Siddiqui added that several other persons have also embraced Islam through the endeavors of the Trust; including a brother of front ranking Bharatiya Janata Party, (BJP), leader Vijay Kumar Malhotra. The person is now known as Dr. Saeed. -Parvez Bari ABDUL WAHID OSMAN BELAL --------------------------------- Food fight? Enjoy some healthy debate in the Yahoo! Answers Food & Drink Q&A.
