Lucknow, March 30: BJP today termed as “false” the statement of senior IPS officer Anju Gupta in a court against L K Advani over Babri Mosque demolition and said the veteran leader did not give any speech on the day the structure was razed down.
“I was present on the dais on that day (December 6, 1992) and as per my knowledge Advaniji or even Murali Manohar Joshi never gave any speech on that day. The statement given by Gupta is prejudiced, one-sided and false,” BJP vice-president Kalraj Mishra told reporters here.
Deposing before the special court in Rae Bareli on Friday last, the IPS officer, who was personal security officer of Advani during the period, had said that the BJP leader gave a provocative speech in Ayodhya moments before the mosque was demolished.
