Aiyer said that years ago during his Ram Rahim yatra (rally) Rao had told him that he did not understand his definition of secularism, as Rao believed that India was a Hindu country.
At the launch of rasheed Kidwai book here Aiyer blamed P.V. Narasimha Rao for the 1992 demolition of the Babri Masjid.
Aiyar said that Rao had a conflict with Congress party over secularism. “He (Narasimha Rao) was the one who was responsible for what happened in the Babri Masjid, he proved that death is not a necessary pre-condition for rigor mortis to set in. It was the biggest disaster that overtook this country because the rift valley in politics is not between right wing economic policies and left wing economic policies, it is over the nature of our nation hood. Are we a secular nation? An inclusive nation? Or are we any new nation?” he asked.
The demolition of the 16th century Babri Mosque on December 6, 1992 had triggered widespread religious riots across the country.
