New Delhi: In a move that puts L K Advani and other BJP leaders in the dock, Congress today gave a clean chit to Atal Bihari Vajpayee in the conspiracy to demolish Babri masjid in the discussion on Liberhan Commission report in the Lok Sabha, while the BJP dubbed it as a "political document full of grave errors".

"Vajpayee's name was not in the conspiracy, his name was only there in one of the lists," Union Minister Salman Khurshid said intervening in the day-long discussion which saw the BJP going hammer and tongs against the report which it alleged failed to come out with truth despite spending 17 long years.

BJP, whose President Rajnath Singh led the defence of the party, said the demolition of the disputed structure at Ayodhya was a result of public anger and asserted that it would build a Ram temple at the same site for "national justice".

Congress, on the other hand, said BJP had used the Ayodhya movement to gain power misusing the name of Lord Ram.

Samajwadi Party, BSP and JD(U) attacked both the BJP and the Congress for the developments that led to the demolition on December 6, 1992.

While Mulayam Singh Yadav targeted the Congress saying facts have been concealed in the report to save P V Narasimha Rao, Khurshid said the Congress government's only fault at that time was that it trusted the then Uttar Pradesh government, led by Kalyan Singh, and the BJP leadership.
