New Delhi: BJP leader Vinay Katiyar, an
accused in the Babri Masjid demolition case, on Monday said the
day the structure was brought down by Karsevaks was the
"happiest day" of his life.
"If you ask me four times, I will repeat four times that
it was the happiest day of my life," he said.
When it was pointed out that senior BJP leader L K Advani
had said December 6, 1992 was the saddest day of his life,
Katiyar said "that is his individual opinion".
He also maintained that there was "no planning" involved
in the demolition.
BJP MP Yogi Adityanath said, "We are proud of demolition
of Babri structure. It was not a Masjid but a disputed
structure at Ayodhya."
"There will be a Ram temple in Ayodhya and we will build
it," he said outside Parliament.
BJP leader Venkaiah Naidu said, "We want a Ram temple in
Ayodhya and there is no change in our stand."
