New Delhi Nov 23
Both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were adjourned row over the Liberhan Commission of Inquiry into the 1992 Babri Masjid demolition today.
During the proceedings of the Lok Sabha the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) demanded that the report be tabled in the house, following a media report that the Liberhan Commission has indicted senior party leaders, including Atal Bihari Vajpayee and L.K. Advani, Home Minister P. Chidambaram said there had been no leakage of the report. There was only one copy of the report and that was with the home ministry, he said.
Dissatisfied with the reply, the opposition led by the BJP stuck to its demand that the report be immediately tabled. BJP members gathered near Speaker Meira Kumar's podium, raising slogans.
When the din refused to subside, the speaker adjourned the house.
Meanwhile Rajya Sabha was adjourned for twice today over demands for the tabling of the report of the Liberhan Commission that probed the 1992 Babri Masjid demolition.
The House -- which had reconvened at noon after an earlier adjournment over the issue -- had to be adjourned again till 2 p.m. as opposition MPs were not satisfied with the assurance of union Home Minister P. Chidambaram that the report would be tabled in the current winter session of parliament.
The opposition MPs -- mainly from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) -- wanted the report to be tabled at once and "not on the last day of the session", as one of them said.
Chidambaram had told the house earlier that only one official in the home ministry had access to the Liberhan Commission report, and was working to write up the action taken report by the government.
A report in a popular newspaper today said the commission has indicted former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee as well as senior Bharatiya Janata Party leaders L.K. Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi for their role in the demolition.
