New Delhi, Dec 9 (IANS) The Liberhan Commission report on the Babri Masjid demolition was a “national joke”, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Arun Jaitley said Wednesday and wondered if it had been outsourced to some other people to be written.
“The report is devoid of any credibility. It is an unimplementable document and a fraud on fact finding process. It is a national joke,” Jaitley said in Rajya Sabha.
“It was not a fact finding mission but a commission which commented on ideology,” added Jaitley, who is Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha.
He also raised question over the actual author of the report.
Jaitley said Justice Liberhan in his report had thanked Harpreet Singh Giani in helping him to analyse the evidence come to conclusion, editing report, and modifying the language.
“Giani has analysed the report, helped in drawing the conclusion, editing the report, and the judge (Justice Liberhan) did the rest,” Jaitley said.
