New Delhi : The Lok Sabha on Monday witnessed an aggressive blame game over the Babri Masjid issue and the Liberhan Report that had investigated the demolition.
Led by party president Rajnath Singh, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) went on the offensive, claiming that the “Liberhan Report is not even remotely close to the truth”.
Singh said the report “had a political agenda” and included “many baseless facts”.
“To call the disputed structure Babri Masjid is wrong,” said the BJP President, adding, “It was a temple, is a temple, will remain a temple.”
Singh also condemn Liberhan’s statement calling the BJP irresponsible.
The Liberhan Report, which examines who was responsible for the demolition of the Babri Masjid in 1992, describes it as “a tailor-made exercise”, fueled and then executed with the complete knowledge of the BJP – and “one of the most abhorrent acts in the history of the nation.”
The demolition was “neither spontaneous, nor unpreventable,” states the report, adding that the BJP “misled” the Centre by making “false promises” that the mosque would not be demolished. The report says the central government’s failure was that it was “day-dreaming”, and believed the BJP’s assurances.
