Should the Centre impose President's Rule in Uttar Pradesh to stall VHP's temple designs? Post your views

Lucknow: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders Uma Bharti and Vinay Katiyar and Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leaders Ashok Singhal, Acharya Giriraj Kishore, V H Dalmiya and Sadhvi Rithambhara on October 8 filed a petition in the Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court challenging the Rae Bareli court's decision to frame charges against them in the Babri Masjid demolition case.

Their petitions are likely to come up for hearing before a single-judge Bench on October 8.

Another accused in the case Human Resources Development Murli Manohar Joshi got a reprieve last week in a High Court order which stayed the Rae Bareli court's decision to frame charges against him.

Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani was earlier discharged by the trial court in the case.
