New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday is hearing a CBI plea seeking restoration of criminal conspiracy charge against senior BJP leaders, including LK Advani, in the 1992 Babri Masjid demolition case.
The investigating agency has challenged the May 2010 Allahabad High Court decision absolving Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi, Union Minister Uma Bharti, Rajasthan Governor Kalyan Singh and others of the charge of criminal conspiracy that led to the razing of the 16th century mosque in Ayodhya of Uttar Pradesh on December 6, 1992.Also Read: The Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid Case: A History
