New Delhi, June 30 (Inditop.com) The Liberhan Commission probing the 1992 demolition of the Babri Masjid Monday submitted its report to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Monday, 17 years after it was formed.
Justice (retd) M.S. Liberhan, who headed the panel, submitted the report to the prime minister in the presence of Home Minister P. Chidambaram.
However, the contents of the report were not known.
The Liberhan Commission got 48 extensions after it was set up within 10 days of the demolition of the 17th century mosque in Ayodhya on Dec 6, 1992 by Hindu groups. The demolition triggered widespread communal riots in the country and led to the loss of many lives.
The panel to investigate what led to the demolition of the Babri mosque was to submit its report by March 16, 1993. But it sought repeated extensions to complete its investigation. The last three-month extension was given in March this year.
The commission has recorded the statements of senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders L.K. Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi, then chief minister of Uttar Pradesh Kalyan Singh and now Bharati Jan Shakti party chief Uma Bharati.
