ISLAMABAD/NEW DELHI: To commemorate 30 years after the Babri Masjid demolition, several Muslim organisations in India marked Black Day on Tuesday.Hindu mobs destroyed the 16th-century mosque on December 6, 1992, igniting civil turmoil that claimed the lives of over 2,000 people.
As Muslims around the world observe December 6 as Black Day, social media users are denouncing the awful recollections of Hindu mobsters who destroyed the three domes of an iconic mosque in north India with the hashtags #BabriMasjid and #BabriZindaHai.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the temple’s foundation three years ago after India’s highest court approved the construction of a temple on the site of the old Babri mosque, which had been demolished.
