In India Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) Chief Lalu Prasad on Saturday stunned everyone by saying that the Congress was as much responsible as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the demolition of the Babri mosque in 1992. After blaming the BJP and its senior leader L.K. Advani for demolition of the Babri mosque in Ayodhya, Railway Minister Lalu Prasad said the Congress was also responsible for the razing of the 16th century mosque, an Indian television channel reported.
"The BJP and its leader L K Advani, who is dreaming of becoming the next prime minister, were mainly responsible for demolition of the mosque, but the Congress cannot escape for its failure to protect it", Lalu said. The RJD chief had told an election meeting in Darbhanga constituency on Friday that the Congress was also responsible for demolition of the mosque along with the BJP. He on Saturday said that if the Congress had wanted, it could have prevented the mosque's demolition.
