Press Statement
The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued
the following statement:
The Liberhan Commission which took 17 long years to complete its inquiry
into the demolition of the Babri Masjid has made a clear and sharp
indictment of the RSS, the BJP and other constituents of the sangh
parivar. Several top BJP leaders have been named as being responsible
for the crime committed. The report demolishes the defence put out by
the BJP that it was a spontaneous movement which went out of control and
lays bare the meticulous planning which went into the demolition. It
shows the utter disregard for the Indian constitution by the BJP and the
sangh parivar.
However the report fails to pinpoint the failure of the Central
Government to take action at the appropriate time to prevent such a
crime. In fact, as is well known, in spite of the repeated requests made
by senior political leaders in the secular opposition at that time and
the unanimous resolution of the National Integration Council asking the
Narsimha Rao Government to take all measures to protect the Babri
Masjid, it showed itself to be weak and vacillating in the face of the
communal offensive. By giving a virtual clean chit to the then Central
Government, the Commission has laid itself open to the charge of a
political bias.
The nation now wants to know what action the Central Government is going
to take. The Action Taken Report placed by the Government on the basis
of some of the Commission's recommendations is weak and inadequate. It
displays a lack of political will to bring those responsible to justice.
In the past also those who have been indicted by Commissions for
communal violence have got off scot free as in the case of the Sri
Krishna Commission report. It is incumbent on the Central Government to
prosecute, within a timebound framework, all those named and to expedite
the proceedings of the cases currently in the courts. The sangh parivar
and its constituents far from showing any repentance are making efforts
to use the report to once again rouse communal passions. People of this
country will no doubt reject such sectarian politics.
