Patna, Apr 28: Communist Party of India- Marxist (CPM) leader Sitaram Yechury on Tuesday blamed the Bharatiya Janata Party for demolition of the Babri mosque in Ayodhya.

Yechury also criticized the Congress for failing in its duties to prevent the national shame.

“The BJP played the role of the murderer and the Congress failed in its duty as police captain to protect the Babri mosque,” Yechury said at a press conference here.

When asked whether the Congress was equally responsible for the demolition, Yechury said, “the Congress had the duty of the police captain which it failed to discharge.” (ANI)
