Babri Mosque demolition: SC to decide punishment today

New Delhi, Mar 22 (IBNS): The Supreme Court will decide the punishment and the fate of senior BJP leaders, including LK Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi, in the Babri Mosque demolition case, reports said.

Though conspiracy charges against a dozen BJP leaders have been dropped by lower courts, the apex court will decide if it will be revived or not.

Earlier, Advani, 89, was charged with the demolition of the 16th century mosque, which is believed to have been built on the birthplace of Lord Ram.

Unwilling to drop charges against the BJP leaders, the Supreme Court had told the CBI earlier this month, "We will not accept the discharge of Advani and others on technical grounds. We will allow you (CBI) to file a supplementary charge-sheet against 13 persons by including the conspiracy charges. We will ask the trial court to conduct a joint trial."

Earlier on Tuesday, the Apex Court also directed all parties to solve the ongoing temple versus mosque issue outside the court.

The move was reportedly welcomed by all major political parties.
