Ayodhya, December 07: BJP leader Vinay Katiyar today claimed that a group of about fifty men who had first entered the Babri Masjid at Ayodhya were not VHP workers but CRPF jawans in plainclothes who started demolishing the mosque and provoked the ‘Kar Sewaks’ to charge at it.
The BJP MP alleged that on December 6, 1992 when the mosque was being demolished by ‘Kar Sewaks’, muslim leaders, some union ministers and Members of Parliament tried to contact the then Prime Minister P V Narsimha Rao, seeking his intervention to stop the demolition.
He alleged the then Union Home Minister S B Chavan had also failed to stop the demolition of the mosque.
