Lucknow, June 29 (IANS) A special court hearing the Babri Mosque demolition case Tuesday ordered the then Faizabad district magistrate and some leaders of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to appear before it for framing of charges.
The VHP and the BJP leaders are facing charges of criminal conspiracy behind the Dec 6, 1992 demolition of the 16th century mosque.
In his order, Judge Virendra Kumar directed then district magistrate R.N. Srivastava, BJP MP Brij Bhushan Saran Singh and VHP leaders Acharya Dharmendra, Swami Sakhi and Pawan Pande to appear before it July 13.
