Our leaders tried to save Babri, says BJP
New Delhi:

The Bharatiya Janata Party, in its reaction to the submission of Liberhan report on Babri Masjid demolition, has said that millions of Hindus in this country want Ram temple.

Addressing mediapersons at the party headquarter in New Delhi, BJP spokesperson Ravishankar Prasad said, "We want a Ram temple. There should be a constructive solution."

Prasad also claimed that BJP leaders had tried to save the structure and that the party has evidence of that.

Earlier, reacting to the report, former BJP leader Uma Bharti, who was in Ayodhya on the day of the demolition, said that the party should come clean over the issue.

"Babri report should be published and BJP should come clean over it," said Bharti.

"I am not apologetic at all, I am willing to be hanged for my role. I want Ram Temple, but I didn't want the mosque to be destroyed that way," she added.

She also said that it was difficult to pinpoint people responsible for mosque demolition.

Meanwhile, Congress spokesperson Manish Tiwary has said that the government will need some time to take action on the report.
