Dump Liberhan report in Bay of Bengal: BJP

Pointing out factual mistakes in the report,BJP leader M Venkaiah Naidu said the document should be “thrown in the Bay of Bengal. I don’t know why Parliament is wasting time on it …the report is not worth reading”.

It was like “digging a mountain and catching a mouse”,Naidu said.

Shiv Sena leader Manohar Joshi said the report “should be thrown in a dustbin” and it should be inquired how Justice Liberhan prepared it.

Congress shot back,stating that the Opposition was trying to divert the core issue as to who demolished the mosque.

Describing the demolition as a “well-scripted exercise” by then UP Chief Minister Kalyan Singh,leaders of BJP and Sangh Parivar,HRD Minister Kapil Sibal said the position taken by the party was a “national shame”.

Vinay Katiyar,named in the report,was often seen clashing with Sibal forcing the Chair to caution him.

Jaya Bachchan (SP) protested against Joshi’s comments that Shiv Sena can support a Muslim Prime Minister provided he is ready for a temple at Ayodhya.
