New Delhi: Government on Tuesday said it has
accepted all the recommendations made by the Liberhan
Commission in the backdrop of the Babri Masjid demolition and
"positive action" would be taken on them.
"We have not rejected the recommendations. Each and
every recommendation has been accepted and noted. The
government is bound to take positive action," Law Minister
Veerappa Moily said here.
He said the government may go beyond recommendations
and "pick up from the conclusions" also.
Asked what action Government was contemplating, Moily
said, "It has already formulated the Action Taken report
(ATR). The Liberhan Commission is a fact-finding mission and
further to that each ministry is expected to take on that and
take action."
"ATR is clearly indictment of 68 persons, who are
responsible for all this episode. ATR also contains offences
which one has collected. Government has to take positive
action," he added.
The Law Minister said, "The country needs justice" as
demolition of the disputed structure had eroded and done
irreparable damage to the secular and democratic fabric of the
country".
