Kamal Nath's Comments Show Congress Had Equal Role in Babri Demolition: Asaduddin Owaisi

AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Friday claimed that Congress leader Kamal Nath’s reported comments on Ayodhya Ram temple issue show that Congress had an equal role in the demolition of Babri Masjid as that of BJP-RSS.

He was responding to Kamal Nath’s reported comments that the BJP cannot claim credit for the Ram temple at Ayodhya and that Rajiv Gandhi’s role should not be forgotten.

“Kamal Nath has once again proved my point as well as that of thousands and lakhs of others that Congress had an equal role in the demolition of Babri Masjid,” he told reporters here. Owaisi said Congress was in power in Uttar Pradesh when idols were kept inside the Babri mosque.
