Main Conclusions as Reported
The term of reference of the Commission was to probe the sequence of events leading to and all facts and circumstances relating to the Demolition, the role played by the Chief Minister and other Ministers and Officials of the State Government, and of individuals & organizations as well as to go into the deficiencies in security measures.
Considering the time he has taken, Justice Liberhans claim that he has fully answered the terms of reference may be accepted. He has not revealed his conclusions or recommendations, but according to leaks in the press, the Commission has held the then Prime Minister Narasimha Rao, responsible for not doing enough to stop the Demolition. It has also blamed the BJP leader, Advani, for creating an environment that led to the Demolition through his Rath Yatra but despite his presence on the site & his speeches to the Kar Sevaks on 6 December 1992, the Commission has not held him responsible for inciting them. On the other hand, other top leaders of the BJP & VHP who were present and also spoke, including Murli Manohar Joshi, Vinay Katiyar, Uma Bharati and Ashok Singhal have been indicted by the Commission for the Demolition, apart from the then UP Chief Minister, Kalyan Singh for failure to control the Kar Sevaks & maintain law and order.
