Narasimha Rao misjudged Babri situation: Chidambaram

"Narasimha Rao paid a price for misjudgment. The Congress paid a price for misjudgment of Rao based on BJP's lies," Chidambaram said amid uproarious scenes in Parliament over the debate on Liberhan Commission report on Babri demolition.

"The only issue before the House is who demolished Babri. Every promise was broken by then UP chief minister," he said, adding that then UP chief minister Kalyan Singh had lied to the centre and the Supreme Court.

Liberhan report perverse, baseless: BJP

"The report holds Sangh parivar responsible (for the demolition). BJP leadership broke every promise," said Chidambaram, adding that RSS controlled every aspect of the temple movement.

He said BJP leader L K Advani had access to every information about the demolition.

The BJP MPs created a ruckus earlier in Parliament and shouted "Jai Jai Atalji" as Chidambaram spoke.

The BJP members were furious when a Congress member called Atal Bihari Vajpayee "neech" (low).

The Liberhan Commission report on Babri demolition is baseless and communal and should be scrapped,  BJP leader Sushma Swaraj told the Lok Sabha earlier.

Participating in the two-day debate on the report in the Lok Sabha on its second day, BJP leader Sushma Swaraj said: "The report is distortion of facts. Every word of the report is communal. This report would sow the seeds of riots. It also denounces the Muslim organisations."   
 
"This is not a fair and just report. We dismiss this report," she said.
 
The Liberhan commission report indicts 68 people for the demolition of the Babri Masjid on December 6, 1992 in Ayodhya.
 
Among the indicted are former Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee, BJP leaders L K Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi and the then Uttar Pradesh chief minister Kalyan Singh.
