BJP slams Congress on leak of Liberhan report

New Delhi, Nov 23: The newspaper report carrying details of the Liberhan Commission findings on the 1992 Babri Masjid demolition took the parliament by a storm on Monday, Nov 23. While the Congress chose to stay silent, Opposition BJP launched an attack against the Central Government.

Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha LK Advani, who is one of the 'BJP trio' reportedly indicted by the commission, questioned why the commission report which was handed over to the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in Jun 2009 was not yet tabled in parliament.

"I am proud of my association with the Ayodhya movement," LK Advani said adding, "I reiterate my commitment for building a Ram Temple in Ayodhya."

BJP members who accused the Congress-led government of partially leaking the details of the report are pressing for the report to be table immediately.

The protesting members shouted slogans and created ruckus in both the houses of the parliament leading to the adjournment of both Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha till 12 noon.

The bedlam was sparked off by a report in The Indian Express, which claims that the Liberhan Commission has indicted the top brass of BJP including LK Advani, former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee and party president Murli Manohar Joshi.
