Click to play videoNew Delhi: The debate on Liberhan Committee report on Babri Masjid demolition will begin in Parliament on Monday.
The two-day debate in the Lok Sabha begins just a day after nation observed the 17th anniversary of Babri Majid being demolished.
All the major political parties are expected to put up their brightest and the loudest members in the debate.
BJP President Rajnath Singh will initiate the debate and the former Uttar Pradesh chief minister is likely to take a hard hitting pro-mandir line in what is being seen as his valedictory speech to please the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh bosses.
Sushma Swaraj will deal with the legal loopholes and former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's indictment.
Senior BJP leaders LK Advani and MM Joshi, named by Justice Liberhan as key instigators, may let their colleagues prepare the defence.
"It is an idiotic report, absolutely idiotic," said BJP leader Arun Shourie.
The Samajwadi Party, which has been losing its Muslims votebank to Congress in Uttar Pradesh, has also decided to train its guns on the ruling United Progressive Alliance.
"A very senior leader of that time Arjun Singh went with a mission to Aydhya. But instead of reaching Ayodhya his mission ended in a meeting with Kalyam Singh," claimed Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh.
So the defence of former prime minister PV Narasimha Rao is what would test the Congress. The former prime minister, though exonerated by Justice Liberhan, had repeatedly come under attack for doing too little and too late to save the structure on December 6, 1992.
It's likely that party's Muslim face from Uttar Pradesh may be asked to prepare Rao's defence.
"The truth of Babri Masjid does not need the Liberhan report because December 6 and the incidents in the following few weeks dominated the news. So everyone knows the truth," said Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi.
But after four days of debate, two each in both houses of Parliament, will the ghost of Babri remain an unending saga?
