Abstract

The article focuses on recent disclosures made by Rajasthan Governor Haribhau Bagade regarding the 1992 demolition of the Babri mosque, which had significant political and social repercussions in India. Bagade claimed that during the demolition, then-Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao was engaged in prayer, suggesting a disconnect between the government's actions and the unfolding events. His comments, made during a commemorative event, are expected to provoke political controversy, particularly for the Congress party, which has historically blamed the BJP-led Uttar Pradesh government for the incident. Bagade also recounted his visit to Ayodhya prior to the demolition and defended the actions of former Union Home Minister Dr. Shankarrao Chavan, while highlighting the complexities of the situation at that time.
