Joshi demands JPC investigate Liberhan report leak | Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Murli Manohar Joshi on Tuesday demanded formation of a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) to investigate leakage of Liberhan Commission report, which blames BJP leaders for their role in the destruction of an ancient mosque that had sparked widespread riots. Addressing the media in the
national capital, Joshi said that complete investigation should be done about the leakage
of the report and the Union Government should take the moral responsibility for the
same. "The basic thing to analyze is that how the report was leaked. Who leaked
it and why it was leaked, the Government especially the Union Home Minister should
take the entire moral responsibility for the report leakage. We demand a Joint
Parliamentary Committee (JPC) should be formed to investigate and announce who
leaked the report and why," Joshi said. The Liberhan Commission, the one-man
commission
headed by Justice M S Liberhan, probed into the circumstances leading to the demolition
of the Babri Masjid on December 6, 1992. A leading English daily of India reported
ysterday that top BJP leaders, Atal Behari Vajpayee, Lal Krishna Advani and Murli
Manohar Joshi, the then Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Kalyan Singh have been
found guilty of Babri Masjid demolition. Earlier on Monday, leaders of the opposition
had created an uproar demanding immediate tabling of the report as a newspaper
had already published the purported findings, indicting some of the prominent
members of BJP. The report was tabled by the Home Minister in the Rajya Sabha
today. |
