Round of talks and assurances. There was a conflict between the Center and the state government. The game of check and check went on. Man-manual took place. Court intervention also took place, but it was reduced to 6 December. The structure collapsed in a few hours due to uncontrollable and hysterical congestion and a temporary temple was built at the site concerned.
The then Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao convinced the saints to stop the construction which started on 9 July 1992 by giving three months assurance, but as promised they could not give any acceptable solution in this period. He also held talks between saints, Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Babri Masjid Action Committee. Several options were kept, but the solution was not found.
Meanwhile, the Fifth Religion Parliament of Saints on 30 October 1992 announced the commencement of another Karseva from 6 December. The series of negotiations broke down. Some people reached the court to stop Karseva.
He gave vent to the aspirations of the grand temple of Ramlila at the birthplace site in Ayodhya through a public awareness program on the temple across the country on the pretext of Shri Ram Paduka Pujan. Talks broke down with the Babri Masjid Action Committee and the VHP started its journey to invite people to Ayodhya for the Karseva from November 15 to December 6. On the other hand, the opposition of Muslim organizations to Karseva's protests increased significantly. The atmosphere became tense.
Round of tension and assurances
Tension and tussle started between the Rao government at the center and the Kalyan Singh government of the state. When the Center warned of the sacking of the state government if something happened at the concerned site, the VHP, BJP, and senior minister in the then Chief Minister Kalyan Singh government Lalji Tandon retaliated and said that if something like this happens, there will be more furious.
Taking a dig at Rao, Chief Minister Kalyan said that when he has accepted the temple to the site concerned in a private conversation, then what is he avoiding. Solving the temple issue does not belong to the Ekta Parishad. The VHP said that Karseva would be the same place where it was closed on July 26, 1992, on Rao's assurance.
Kalyan gave affidavit
When Prime Minister Rao saw the opposite happening, he gave Prof. Sarkaryavah of the then Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. Rajendra Singh spoke to Rajju Bhaiya. Rajju Bhaiya assured them to protect the structure. The Supreme Court also sought an assurance from the UP government not to allow any new construction to take place at the disputed site.
By filing an affidavit, the then Chief Minister Kalyan assured the Supreme Court that no permanent or temporary construction would be allowed at the disputed site. Karseva will be symbolic only. The Supreme Court then allowed Karseva. The Supreme Court did not accept the demand to appoint the center's receiver. However, Allahabad High Court was asked to appoint a district judge as a supervisor, who would monitor whether the state government was working as per the assurance given. The Allahabad High Court-appointed Tejshankar, the then Sessions Judge of Moradabad as a supervisor.
