In a clear indication that BJP wishes to keep the Ram temple issue alive, its Parliamentary Party Chief L K Advani on Tuesday asked his MPs to read the Liberhan Commission report and bring out its discrepancies in public forums, including their constituencies.In the BJP Parliamentary Party meeting held here on Tuesday, Advani said the Liberhan Commission report was full of howlers and contradictions.
"Advani told the party MPs to read the report carefully.
He said even if the MPs did not get a chance to participate in the debate on the Liberhan report, they can educate the people from their constituencies on the discrepancies in the report," Deputy Leader of BJP in Lok Sabha, Sushma Swaraj said.The Leader of Opposition informed his MPs during the meeting about "laughable" mistakes. The Liberhan report mentions Abul Kalam Azad instead of A P J Abdul Kalam and attributes a quote of Pakistan-founder M A Jinnah on the two-nation theory to BJP ideologue Deen Dayal Upadhyaya.Advani later told reporters that this quote of Jinnah is mentioned in a book authored by Upadhyaya but were not that of the latter. He described this as one of the many howlers in the book.BJP also decided to protest in Parliament stopping of Ladakh road construction due to "Chinese pressure" and Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's statement that the state's problem was an international issue.
