PM, DPM ordered to demolish Babri Masjid: Kalyan
Friday, June 20 2003 16:16 Hrs (IST)
Lucknow: Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Kalyan Singh on June 20 alleged that the Babri Masjid
had been demolished under the direction of Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee, Deputy Prime Minister
L K Advani, Union Human Resource Development Minister Murli Manohar Joshi and senior Sangh
Parivar leaders, who were "part of a conspiracy".
"I was Chief Minister but they kept every thing under wrap and even forced me to sign on the dotted
line," he alleged at a press conference, a day after the Centre accused his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)
state government of failing to deploy Central forces to protect the mosque in 1992 at Ayodhya.
"Under the assurance of senior BJP and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leaders, I had filed an
affidavit in the Supreme Court that the masjid would be protected... But all of them betrayed me," Singh,
who has since been expelled from BJP, said.
