A Special CBI Court in 2020 acquitted the 32 accused in the Babri Masjid demolition case.
The statements of all the accused have been recorded by the CBI special court earlier this month.
The Supreme Court had in 2017 revived the conspiracy charge in the Babri Masjid demolition case against Advani, Joshi, Kalyan Singh, Uma Bharti and others.
“It's such a wonderful feeling that in a country as large and diverse as India, electoral process has been so successfully completed and for that, my compliments to the electorate and all the agencies involved. May our great nation be blessed with a bright future ahead,” said Advani.
It is, however, unclear how seriously the party will heed Advani’s advice to “look back and look within”, for truth be told, the current breed of political activists ~ across all parties ~ would prefer to reverse the order of “nation, party and self”.
