BJP is planning to undertake 'Rath Yatra' in Delhi's riot-affected areas to seek donations for Ram Temple on Feb 1. In 1990, L.K. Advani had launched Rath Yatra from Somnath to Ayodhya.

This thread covers the large scale killing which took place during the Yatra and it's impact.

Between April 1989 and April 1990, 262 people died in Gujarat, mostly were Muslims. In October 1990, days after Advani’s yatra began, 41 were killed in Ahmedabad. The same month, 52 were killed in Jaipur, 20 in Jodhpur, 33 in Lucknow, over 100 in Delhi, 37 in Assam,

Many parts of India remained tense for long periods of time. Between April and May 1990, three riots in Kanpur killed 30; between May and November 1991 more than 50 were killed in Varanasi. In May 1991, 26 including 24 Muslims were killed in Vadodara.

In October 1992, 44 were killed in Sitamarhi. On 6 December 1992, immediately after the Babri Masjid was destroyed, pogroms against Muslims broke out in Surat where 200 died, of whom some 95 per cent were Muslims. In Bhopal in December, 143 were killed.

1970 Election, when election results created a storm and the postponement of inaugural NA session -- Begining of the end of United Pakistan.

The total votes cast in the 1970 election were 34.9 million, out of which 17.1 million were from East Pakistan and 17.7 million were from West Pakistan. 55% and 61% of people cast their votes in the eastern and western halves of the country.

Awami League won 160/162 contested seats and won 75.1% of the votes from East Pak. PPP won 81/120 contested from West Pak, PPP obtained 41.6% Punjab, 44.9% Sindh, 14.2 NWFP%, and only 2.3% of votes in Balochistan. AL obtained 0.7% of votes from West Pak.

PPP fell short of 50% votes, gaining only 2% of votes from Balochistan. Bhutto could, therefore, not justifiably claim to be speaking for West Pakistan.
After the election the initial reaction of Yahya was:
"As far as I am concerned my job is finished."

Three days later at Dacca Yahya met Mujib, in the meeting Mujib explained AL's six points and added that while spelling them out in detail during the NA session, he would tone them down sufficiently to ensure that the idea of the unity of the country remains intact.
