Lashing out at the Supreme Court's decision to reinstate criminal conspiracy charges against Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders L.K. Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi and Uma Bharti in the Babri Masjid demolition case, the Union Water Resources Minister remained defiant, saying she is ready to face the trial. Bharti said that ‘For Ayodhya, for Ganga, for the tricolour, I'm ready to bear any punishment. Why should I regret it? There was no conspiracy, everything was open in front. There was nothing like this in contemplation’.
Bharti turned the allegations against the Congress Party on the emergency when asked if she will resign on the Opposition's demand. She added that ‘I will not react on Congress' allegations and demands that I resign. Who are they to say anything? They imposed the emergency, they forcefully sterilised Muslims’. She further said that Ram Mandir needs to be built. She added that ‘the (Babri Masjid) case is yet to conclude. I have not yet been pronounced guilty. This country belongs to the cow, Ganga, Ram and the tricolour. I will defend them at any cost’.
The apex court has directed the sessions judge in Lucknow to conduct the trial in the Babri demolition case on a daily basis and that the judge will not be transferred. It also ruled out a fresh trial in the case. The top court has also ordered the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to ensure that witnesses are produced in court everyday so that there is no delay in the Babri demolition case trial. The trial will have to be completed in two years. However, the apex court has clarified that Kalyan Singh, being Governor of Rajasthan, will not be tried due to constitutional immunity unless he ceases to be in that post. In effect, his trial will begin after his term as Governor ends.
