New Delhi, December 07: BJP President Rajnath Singh was today found defending his bete noire former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Kalyan Singh during the high voltage debate on the Liberhan Commission report in the Lok Sabha.
The BJP chief said the Congress had in 1945 given a strong commitment not to allow country’s partition but failed to keep the promise.
“Now why questions are being raised about Kalyan Singh’s assurance to the Supreme Court on not allowing any damage to the disputed structure,” he said initiating the debate on behalf of BJP.
Rajnath Singh, who is also a former UP Chief Minister, said Kalyan Singh had expressed his inability to the Centre to use force against the Kar Sewaks as it could lead to religious discord.
He alleged that the Centre did not take action to prevent trouble despite Kalyan Singh refusing to use force.
