News 18  

A day after a CBI special court in Lucknow acquitted all the accused, including BJP veteran LK Advani, in the Babri Masjid demolition case, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Thursday said the1992 incident was an unparalleled crime that has deeply wounded the country like the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi. All the 32 accused in the Babri mosque demolition case, including BJP veterans Advani and MM Joshi, were on Wednesday acquitted by a special CBI court, which said there was no conclusive proof against them. "The demolition of the Babri Masjid is not just a destruction of a mosque – it is an unparalleled crime that has deeply wounded the country like the assassination of Gandhi," Vijayan said. As a natural consequence of all this, when the Sangh Parivar demolished the Babri Masjid, it was the Congress that allowed it and remained silent through inaction," Vijayan said.
