Lucknow, Dec 3 (IANS) Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Vinay Katiyar Thursday said he will make certain “startling revelations” about the razing of the Babri Mosque in Ayodhya Dec 6, 1992, on the 17th anniversary of the incident Sunday.
“While some people would hail Dec 6 as ‘victory day’ and others would condemn it as ‘black day’ , I have decided to observe the 17th anniversary of the demolition of the mosque as ‘the day of truth’, whereby I would make certain vital disclosures,” Katiyar, who was among the front-line leaders of the Ayodhya movement, told IANS over telephone from Ayodhya.
The founder chief of Bajrang Dal, Katiyar, who was twice elected to the Lok Sabha from Faizabad, has convened a meeting of ’sadhus’ and activists of the Ram temple movement at his residence in Ayodhya Dec 6.
“I will make certain disclosures that would even fix Justice Manmohan Singh Liberhan, who took 17 long years to submit his report as the commission of inquiry appointed by the government to go into various aspects of the demolition,” he claimed.
The BJP leader was not only among those indicted by the commission, but is also facing trial in a case of criminal conspiracy lodged against some 58 prominent leaders of the BJP and the party’s affiliates like the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and the Bajrang Dal.
