Ready to own up: Uma Bharti

Bhopal: Bhartiya Janshakti Party president Uma Bharti said here on Tuesday she was ready to own responsibility for the demolition of the Babri mosque and would not mind even if she was hanged on the issue.

Reacting to the submission of the Liberhan report, Ms. Bharti told journalists here: “Like a good commander, I am ready to own responsibility for the Babri Masjid’s demolition.” “The report which was submitted to the Prime Minister after 16 years of the constitution of the Commission is an attempt to appease Muslim community,” she said.

She appealed to BJP leaders not to apologise for the demolition as they themselves invited a large number of people at Ayodhya for starting the ‘kar seva.’ — PTI
