BABRI MASJID DEMOLITOON PSEUDO MODERATES
Justice M.S.Liberhan on Tuesday, 24th December said his report on circumstances leading to the demolition of Babri Masjid on November 6, 1992, did not indict former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee for his alleged “pseudo-moderate” role as a top BJP leader during the Ayodhya movement.
But, on page 942 of the report, the commission said, “It cannot be assumed even for a moment that L.K.Advani, A.B.Vajpayee or Murali Manohar Joshi did not know the designs of Sangh Parivar. These people, who may be called pseudo-moderates, could not have defied the mandate of the Sangh Parivar, and more specifically the diktat of the RSS, without having bowed out of public life as leaders of BJP.”
The report added, “These leaders cannot, however, be given the benefit of doubt and exonerated of culpability. These leaders have violated the trust of the people and have allowed their actions to be dictated not by the voters but by a small group of individuals who have used them to implement agendas unsanctioned by the will of the common people. There can be no greater betrayal of crime in a democracy and this commission has no hesitation in condemning these pseudo-moderates for their sins of omission.”
