New Delhi:
BJP president Rajnath Singh has accused the government of using the Liberhan Commission Report as a political tool.
"Why is Vajpayee's name in the report? He wasn't even issued a notice," said a shocked Rajnath, reacting to the findings of the Commission which has indicted senior BJP leaders Atal Bihari Vajpayee, L K Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi, among others, for the demolition.
Rajnath said the country admired Vajpayee's towering personality. Efforts were being made to tarnish his image just ahead of elections in Jharkhand, a state created by the BJP-led government. "Vajpayee's name in the report is shocking. It questions the report's credibility," he said.
The BJP leader asked the Centre to explain how the report was leaked and demanded a CBI probe into the leak. "We need to know how the Liberhan report leaked."
The BJP chief said political and secular groups should not be defamed because of political rivalry. The government is jeopardising peace in the nation to serve its political interests. Nevertheless, the BJP's commitment to the Ram temple will not be diluted, he asserted.
Holding the government responsible for the leak of the report, he said, "Chidambaram should take moral responsibility for the leak. The Liberhan Report leak is an attempt to fix the BJP and the RSS leadership."
