Status of the Criminal Case Regarding Destruction of Babri Masjid
I’m talking here, about the long-running criminal cases that arose out of those shameful events on 6 December 1992.
Including, if I may remind Mr Advani, the case against him and his colleagues like Uma Bharati, Murli Manohar Joshi, Giriraj Singh and Sadhvi Rithambara for their alleged role in the debacle, for:
- Section 147, IPC – Rioting.
- Section 149, IPC – Unlawful assembly.
- Section 153A, IPC – Promoting hate and enmity on the grounds of religion.
- Section 153B, IPC – Assertions prejudicial to national integration.
- Section 295, IPC – Destruction of a place of worship.
- Section 505, IPC – Deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings.
Oh, and there’s also the small matter of criminal conspiracy (Section 120B, IPC), that he tried hard to have dropped.
Now it’s been a long and difficult road…
