In report y gave to Allahab High Court, y h said very clearly that re were eugh indications that re were structures of erstwhile temple found in bits and pieces in digging y h done."

"At that time, y h limited objectives and that was to see below masjid, re was any evidence of a pre-existing temple and as soon as y found some artefacts, y concluded and matter was taken up for final hearing in Ram Janmabhoomi case. w, we are re-building a temple and naturally, y will dig much deeper and hence I am t surprised at all about what y have just discovered," Rajya Sabha MP ded.
