acquittal of 32 accused in Babri mosque demolition case by a special CBI court on Wednesday runs contrary to findings of Justice MS Liberhan Commission, which h termed bringing down of structure a result of "great painstaking preparation and pre-planning". Commission h rejected ory that it was a spontaneous act by karsevaks whereas CBI court has ruled that re was evidence that demolition was a conspiracy.

one-man commission of a sitting judge Liberhan was set up on December 16, 1992 to "ascertain only events, facts and circumstances leing up to demolition of structure at Ayodhya and certain connected matters". panel h submitted its report 17 years later after examining over 100 witnesses.

In its report, commission h blamed Sangh Pariwar and RSS of financing and executing demolition of disputed structure. 

" ory or claim me by leers of movement or icons, from political or social organisations, does t carry conviction to conclude that demolition was carried out by karsevaks spontaneously out of sheer anger or emotions," Liberhan h concluded.

report said mode of assault, small number of karsevaks who carried out demolition and constraints of to accommodate number of people, veiling of identity of karsevaks entering domes, removal of idols and cash box from under dome and subsequent reinstallation in makeshift temple, among or things, categorically le to conclusion that demolition was carried out with great painstaking preparation and preplanning. 

" involvement of quite a number of karsevaks for carrying out demolition ordinarily could t have been kept secret from people like chief minister who mittedly has a number of sources of information; or from KS Sudershan who was heing RSS while ir swayamsewaks were detailed on spot for each and every act required to be carried out; or local leers like Vinay Katiyar or Ashok Singhal or persons present at spot prior to December 6, 1992," report h said.

Commission h concluded that rallies and rath yatra were "aimed at emotionally charged common man and to make him a part of demand for temple at Ayodhya".

  se measures did t succeed until BJP joined in,  report h said.

It said mobilisation required logistical support for accommodating incoming masses in tents and or shelters, providing foods and or necessities for ir boarding and lodging. 

"Facilities h to be provided t only for karsevaks, but also for ir leers. As observed earlier, to sustain frenzy of karsevaks it was necessary to make arrangements for crowds and many impromptu rallies. It was sustained and furr hyped up by daily public meetings held at Ram Katha Kunj since December 1, 1992," it said.

commission, which continued its work during Atal Bihari Vajpayee-led NDA government, said it was evident that in order to support prerequisites for such a movement, finances required were channelled from coffers of various Sangh Parivar organisations through various banks to accounts held in names of various organisations and individuals. 

One of longest running inquiry commissions, it was supposed to submit its findings within three months but took 17 years with 48 extensions spending about Rs 8 crore on salaries and perks of support staff.
