The question is why the Commission has been given extension after extension, both by the NDA and the UPA Governments. In the last 4 years after hearings & arguments had been concluded, and after the absconding prime witness Kalyan Singh had appeared, defiant at ever and without any sign of remorse or shame, there was no justification or rationale for any further extension. One can only surmise that the UPA Government willingly submitted to what may be called in the circumstances silent blackmail by the Commission, because it apprehended that if the Report held the late Prime Minister Narasimha Rao, largely responsible for the Demolition, the BJP may use it against the INC. Since, it had already come out in public that the draft Report was soft on Advani. So the term was extended right up to 30 June, 2009, well after the General Election and the installation of the new Government.

The Report has not been made public and it is doubtful whether the Government shall table it in the Parliament during the current Budget Session, because it may like to consider it in depth and submit it with an Action Taken Report.
