Chennai, December 05: Rejecting the Liberhan Commission’s indictment of it in the Babri mosque demolition in 1992 in Ayodhya, the VHP today said it was not a planned destruction but a “spontaneous decision” taken by the karsevaks.
International president of the VHP, Ashok Singhal told reporters that people had gone there for the construction of a Ram temple on “our plot of 2.77 acres of land” away from the disputed structure.
“There was no choice for the people since there was no court verdict (which was not delivered as expected). When they could not construct they chose to demolish. It was a spontaneous decision (and) nobody expected the demolition to be completed in five hours as the 16th century building came down in five hours. Nobody planned it,” Singhal claimed.
