LS,RS to debate Liberhan report on Dec 1,7

BJP is likely to field a battery of leaders in Parliament to discuss the report in which even L K Advani may participate.

But it is still unclear whom Congress would line up and whether Rahul Gandhi would lead the ruling side in the attack on BJP and the Sangh Parivar on the issue.

For BJP,its president Rajnath Singh will open the debate in the Lower House,while Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley will take up the task in the Upper House.

During the Assembly election campaign in Uttar Pradesh,Rahul Gandhi had remarked that if someone from the Gandhi family had been at the helm of affairs in 1992,the demolition of Babri Masjid would not have taken place.

Asked whether Gandhi would participate in the discussions,a senior party leader said these were still early days and the party has not yet finalised its speakers in the debate. “We will,however,not be found wanting on this score,” he said.
