ShareAhmedabad: After the report on the Babri Masjid demolition episode of 1992 was submitted on Tuesday, the state Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) unit is on a 'maun' wait and watch mode, even refusing utter a word on the whole matter. Wide spread riots had erupted in Gujarat following the demolition of Babri Masjid on December 6, 1992.
The Liberhan Commission, which is inquiring into the destruction of the Ram Janmbhoomi-Babri Masjid structure at Ayodhya on December 6, 1992, submitted its report to Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh, on Tuesday. Established on December 16, 1992, 10 days after the demolition that triggered widespread communal violence, the panel headed by retired Justice MS Liberhan was formed to look into its causes. However, the contents of the report, which was submitted 17 years after its formation, were not immediately known.
As verbal duel rages in the national political arena over the issue, the state BJP leaders have, however, sealed their lips. "We are not going to comment over the issue as the only report has been given and its content not known," was what IK Jadeja, spokerperson of state BJP said, adding, "The issue will be decided from Delhi."
While Yamal Vyas, head of the BJP media wing also refused to comment on it, Vijay Rupani, BJP Rajyasabha MP said, "He is in Junagadh and is yet to know about the issue."
Political pundits opine it will be interesting to see whether BJP leaders are named in the report or not. The BJP along with hardline saffron brigade spread waves of Hindutva across the country by raising the Babri Masjid-Ram Janmbhoomi episode. Large scale verbal warfare and politicking is expected once the contents of the reports are spilled.
Top BJP leaders including LK Advani and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad were severely targeted by their opponents on the issue. Advani along with his other senior aides Murli Manohar Joshi and Kalyan Singh had recorded their statements before the commission.
