New Delhi, July 04: Charging former UP chief minister Kalyan Singh once again, the Centre told the Liberhan Commission that the state govt had refused to go along with the Union Govt`s decision favouring deployment of para-military forces for protection of the disputed structure in December 1992.
In its written submission before the commission, the Union Government said that Uttar Pradesh government had objected to the suggestions for drawing up a new security plan on the ground that the "maintenance of law and order" was a state subject. The state termed "unilateral action" of
deploying para-military forces as "unconstitutional".
On these two occasions and particularly on the decision to deploy para-military forces, "the Centre-state relations had turned hostile," the Centre`s counsel Lala Ram Gupta and Bhupender Yadav said in the submissions filed before the commission probing the events leading to demolition of the structure at Ayodhya on December 6, 1992.
"The Centre-state relations turned hostile when the then Union Home Minister, through his letter dated November 24, 1992, conveyed the decision of Central Government to deploy central para-military forces to tackle the situation arising out of the proposed kar seva.
"The Chief Minister, in his letter dated November 25, 1992 addressed to the home minister and letter dated November 26, 1992 to the Prime Minister, conveyed his protest against the unilateral deployment of the central para-military forces.
