Liberhan Commission: Dramas galore!
The Liberhan Commission - the country's longest running inquiry panel - was not without its share of high drama during its 17-year probe into Babri Masjid demolition and once had a tough time dealing with a Bajrang Dal leader's foul language.
The one-man Commission probed the "sequence of events leading, and all facts and circumstances relating, to the occurrences at Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid complex on December 6, 1992" - the day the Babri Masjid was brought down by kar sevaks.
'Mumbai is not the way Slumdog Millionaire portrays it'
Vinay Katiyar during his deposition used foul language and went to the extent of saying that the report of the Commission would be useless and gather dust on official shelves.
