Rajya Sabha adjourned again over Liberhan report (Lead)

November 23rd, 2009 - 2:04 pm ICT by IANS Tell a Friend -

P. Chidambaram New Delhi, Nov 23 (IANS) The Rajya Sabha was adjourned for the second time Monday over demands for the tabling of the report of the Liberhan Commission that probed the 1992 Babri Masjid demolition.
The House — which had reconvened at noon after an earlier adjournment over the issue — had to be adjourned again till 2 p.m. as opposition MPs were not satisfied with the assurance of union Home Minister P. Chidambaram that the report would be tabled in the current winter session of parliament.

The opposition MPs — mainly from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) — wanted the report to be tabled at once and “not on the last day of the session”, as one of them said.

Chidambaram had told the house earlier that only one official in the home ministry had access to the Liberhan Commission report, and was working to write up the action taken report by the government.

A report in the Indian Express Monday said the commission has indicted former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee as well as senior Bharatiya Janata Party leaders L.K. Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi for their role in the demolition.
