Liberhan report on Babri was unfounded; Cong govt rightly dumped it: Satya Pal Jain (IANS Exclusive)

By Aarti Tikoo Singh New Delhi, Oct 2 : Satya Pal Jain, senior advocate and a member of the national executive committee of the BJP, has said that the Liberhan Commission report, which had indicted BJP’s top leadership in the Babri Masjid demolition case, was unfounded and based on misrepresentation of facts.
Jain had represented the accused BJP leaders before the Liberhan Commission.
“The Congress government had rightly dumped it and the report met the fate which it deserved,” Jain, who also happens to be the Additional Solicitor General of India in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, told IANS in an exclusive interview following the special CBI court’s verdict in the case.
On September 30, a special CBI court in Lucknow acquitted all the 32 accused in the Babri Masjid demolition case, including BJP veterans L.K. Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi, Uma Bharti and several others, on account of inconclusive evidence and the event not being pre-planned.
A 500-year-old dispute, the Babri Masjid was built on the site of what Hindus believe to be the birth place of Lord Ram. On December 6, 1992, the mosque was demolished by a large group of activists, at a time when the country was run by the Congress headed by Prime Minister P.V.R. Narasimha Rao.
Incidentally, Satya Pal Jain was also present with other BJP and RSS leaders in Ayodhya on the day of the demolition.
