Government will take appropriate action on Liberhan report: Congress

The Congress on Tuesday said the government would take appropriate action on the Liberhan Commission report, which was appointed to probe the December 6, 1992 demolition of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya.

New Delhi, June 30: The Congress on Tuesday said the government would take appropriate action on the Liberhan Commission report, which was appointed to probe the December 6, 1992 demolition of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya.

"The Commission has submitted its report. Government will now study the report and take appropriate action," said Manish Tewari, Congress spokesman.

When asked if the government would take action against any individual, if the Commission highlights that individual, Tewari said there is no point in indulging in speculations.

The government would not take action blindly and would come to an appropriate conclusion after applying its own mind.

Earlier, the one man Commission headed by Justice M S Liberhan Liberhan, submitted its report to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in the presence of Home Minister P Chidambaram.

Established on December 16, 1992, ten days after the demolition that triggered widespread communal violence.

The probe panel is one of the longest and costliest commissions with over Rs.7.5 crore spent during this period.

The Commission was constituted by the Home Ministry and was mandated to inquire into the circumstances leading to the demolition of the Babri Mosque.

The contents of the report are not known.
