Senior BJP leaders Lal Krishna Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi have agreed to face charges in the Babri Demolition Case on Thursday afternoon

 

Senior BJP leaders Lal Krishna Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi have agreed to face charges in the Babri Demolition Case on Thursday afternoon. According to the TV reports, the Supreme Court has reserved judgement against both the senior leaders. They were in Bareilly for the hearing in the 1992 Babri Masjid demolition case. The Supreme court was supposed to examine LK Advani along with other senior BJP leaders like Murli Manohar Joshi, Uma Bharti, Kalyan Singh and others for conspiracy charges.

Now that both the leaders have accepted the charges, the Supreme Court will decide whether to revive them or not. Many Bharatiya Janata Party leaders were accused of provoking the crowd that demolished the Babri Masjid in 1992 through their speeches. Earlier in the week, the apex court had asked all the parties to file their response in the matter and said it will hear the case in two weeks time.

It was also being reported that the apex court might transfer the case to the Lucknow Court after the CBI had told the Supreme Court all the 14 people involved in the matter including LK Advani and Uma Bharti who were earlier acquitted, should be tried again. The CBI lawyer informed the apex court, “in Rai Bareilly Court, 57 witnesses had already been examined and 100 or more are likely to be examined.”

He also mentioned that about 195 witnesses have already been examined in Lucknow trial court and another 300 people will be examined in the coming days. CBI also sought initiation of criminal conspiracy charges against certain BJP leaders. The CBI had chargesheeted Advani and 20 others under Sections 153A (promoting enmity between classes), 153B (imputations, assertions prejudicial to national integration) and 505 (false statements, rumours etc. circulated with the intent to cause mutiny or disturb public peace) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

Babri demolition: CBI tells Supreme Court Advani, 12 others part of larger conspiracy

Senior BJP leader LK Advani and 12 others were part of a larger conspiracy to demolish the disputed Babri Masjid, the Central Bureau of Investigation told the Supreme Court on Thursday, arguing for charges to be revived against the politicians.

India’s premier probe agency told the top court that Advani and others hadn’t faced conspiracy charges based on technical reasons. The CBI wants the trial to be held in a Lucknow court.

Hundreds of Hindu zealots scaled the centuries-old Babri Masjid in 1992 and knocked it down with axes, hammers and other tools, triggering a cycle of communal violence that claimed more than 3,000 lives.

The controversial demolition was the culmination of a festering dispute between Muslims and many Hindus, who believe the Mughal emperor Babur razed a temple at the site believed to be the birthplace of Hindu god Ram.

Earlier this month, the SC had hinted that it might revive criminal conspiracy charges against BJP and other Hindu right-wing leaders in the demolition case that was dropped by a special trial court in Lucknow on technical grounds. Other than Advani, the accused include senior BJP leaders Murli Manohar Joshi, Uma Bharti and Kalyan Singh, and a number of Vishwa Hindu Parishad members.
