The All India Babri Masjid Action Committee (AIBMAC) on Wednesday expressed concern over clean chit given to the then Congress-government headed Prime Minister Narasimha Rao in the Liberhan Commission report on the demolition of Babri Masjid in Ayodhya in December 1992. The AIBMAC, which
had a meeting here on Wednesday, said the commission's findings about RSS, VHP, BJP, Shiv Sena and Bajrang Dal were historically correct but exonerating Rao in the case was improper.

The committee has also assailed the commission of unnecessarily dragging Muslim organizations in its report.

The All India Muslim Personal Law Board had also blamed the Congress and Rao at its last week meeting here for the demolition of mosque.

"The Muslim leadership including the AIBMAC, also failed to highlight the extremely high-handed and extra legal method adopted half a century ago to install the idols in disputed structure or to open the locks on the gates", the report said.

However the AIBMAC said the comments against Muslim leadership were historically wrong and legally improper.

Referring to Action Take Report (ATR) of the Congress-led UPA government the AIBMAC said it was unsatisfactory. The committee convenor Zafaryab Jilani said the CBI and the centre should approach the High Court for the day-to-day hearing in the criminal cases pending in Rae Bareli and Lucknow. The committee has also demanded inclusion of 68 names mentioned in the commission's report in the CBI case. Jilani said there should also be day-to-day hearing in Title suit pending in Lucknow bench of High Court. Dr Shafiqur Rahman Barq presided over the meeting.

Jilani said Muslim Reservation Movement (MRM), which also held its meeting today, has asked for reservation to Muslims groups which had been working like scheduled castes. He said MRM has demanded immediate implementation of report of Justice Ranganath Mishra commission. The MRM has planned to hold divisional conferences in January/February 2010 in Sultanpur and Maharajganj. The MRM members would also meeting Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh and AICC chief Sonia Gandhi to press for the acceptance of the demands.
