New Delhi: This is one of the biggest mysteries of Indian politics. In the last 10 years, we have seen both the Congress and BJP governments at the Centre, yet there has been no progress at all in the Ayodhya demolition case.
The Liberhan Commission, formed to fix the blame for the Babri Masjid demolition on December 6, 1992, is all set to get its 42nd extension.
On August 30, when the Union Home Ministry had decided to give the commission its 41st extension, many believed it would be the last extension and the panel will submit its report within this period.
But that was not to be. Questions have now been raised on the whereabouts of Justice Liberhan and his apparent reluctance to give the report. Doubts are also being raised as to whether the Central Government is at all interested in the findings of the report.
According to sources, Justice Liberhan is in US right now and the Centre is reluctant to take up the issue at the moment. The report is ready, but if it is released, it will have to be tabled in the Parliament immediately after which, it will have to be made public.
The commission, headed by Justice MS Liberhan, was constituted by the then prime minister PV Narasimha Rao within a fortnight of the demolition of the Babri Masjid on December 6, 1992. The commission's brief was clear: Establish the sequence of events that led to the demolition and pinpoint all those who were responsible for the demolition.
The panel was supposed to submit its report within three months of its constitution. But it's over 15 years now and till date, the government has spent more than Rs 700 lakh on the panel.
The Usual Suspects
 | Vinay Katiyaar: The Ayodhya-based functionary who led the demolition campaign from the front. |
 | Uma Bharti: The sadhvi, the rabble-rouser, known for making inflammatory speeches. |
 | Ashok Singhal: Senior VHP leader whose fanaticism and statements preceding September 6 incited kar sevaks. |
 | Kalyan Singh: The then chief minister of UP who sided with the lawbreakers. |
 | Murli Manohar Joshi: Senior BJP leader then with a remarkable following. |
