Babri Masjid case: Liberhan Commission submits report to PM
Press Trust of India / New Delhi Jun 30, 2009, 11:08 IST
Seventeen years after it was set up, the Liberhan Commission probing the 1992 demolition of Babri Masjid in Ayodhya today submitted its report to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
The Commission, which had got 48 extensions, submitted the report to the Prime Minister by Retd Justice M S Liberhan in presence of Home Minister P Chidambaram.
The contents of the report were not immediately known.
Set up within ten days of the demolition of the historic mosque on December six, 1992, which triggered widespread communal violence leading to heavy loss of lives, the panel has become the country's longest serving Commission of Enquiry.
The Commission, mandated to inquire into the circumstances leading to the demolition of the Babri mosque was to submit its report by March 16, 1993 but sought repeated extensions to complete its probe. The last three month extension was given in March this year.
The probe panel was one of the costliest Commissions having spent nearly Rs eight crore. The bulk of the amount was spent on the salaries and perks of the supporting staff.
During the extended proceedings spread over 400 sittings, the Commission recorded the statements of senior BJP leaders L K Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi and then chief minister of Uttar Pradesh Kalyan Singh.
The panel had completed hearing the last witness in 2005.

The whole country is aware that Advani was egging the crowd on.Advani used a false gotra and melted all the religious statues he received as gifts as told by his daughter in law Gauri Advani to the commission. The country is keen to hear the outcome.
whatever is the report of the case the important matter is if such a big issue is solved after 17 years,what took it so long and why was no report submitted earlier?
also what is the guarantee that the final verdict will not e challenged and immediate actions will be taken on the report conclusion!!
