 "Centre must act and show it is not going soft on communal forces: SP")
Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Naresh Agarwal on Friday, called for stringent action from the centre against those forces that had demolished the Babri Masjid.
Responding to the alleged sting operation conducted by Cobrapost, Agarwal said: " It is a well known fact that parties like the BJP and their sister concerns like the RSS, VHP were involved in pulling down the 16th century structure. I think that this calls for the central government to take action on this issue, given that the truth has come forward. If the Centre refuses to take action, it means they are soft on communal forces," Agarwal said.
An elaborate sting operation, conducted by Cobrapost on 23 key people of the Ram Janambhoomi movement, claims that the fall of the disputed 16th century structure on December 6, 1992, was elaborately planned by various wings of the Sangh Parivar and executed with precision by trained volunteers.
It wasn't, as it is claimed, a case of mob frenzy going out of control, leading to the collapse of the Babri Masjid.
