New Delhi, June 30: Congress today launched a sharp attack on BJP over the Liberhan Commission report on Babri Masjid demolition asking it why it did not scrap the panel during its six-year rule if it felt that the move was a political vendetta.
It also said “excessive protests” by BJP even before contents of the Liberhan Commission report are out reflected a “guilty mind”.
AICC General Secretary Janardan Dwivedi told reporters that if BJP was now crying vendetta, then why it did not wound up the Commission when it was in power and on the other hand gave it extensions after extensions.
Describing Babri masjid as one of “the biggest symbols of secularism” in the country, he said this was because it was considered a mosque by Muslims and Hindus prayed there as the birthplace of Lord Rama.
The BJP leaders have committed a “grave communal act” by demolishing it, he charged.
