Close Babri Masjid demolition case against Advani-Joshi before 'bhoomi poojan' of Ram temple: Subramanian Swamy urges PM Modi

BJP MP Subramanian Swamy on Tuesday (July 21) urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to close down Babri Masjid demolition case against veteran BJP leaders Lal Krishna Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi before the 'bhoomi poojan' ceremony of Ram temple at Ayodhya. 

Swamy added that even if Advani, Joshi and other BJP leaders were complicit in demolishing the structure, these leaders did not demolish a masjid but a functioning temple to rebuild it.

"Before taking Advani Joshi etc., to Ayodhya PM must order the closing of the silly case of demolition of the "Babri Masjid". If at all complicit, they did not demolish a masjid but a functioning temple to rebuild it," tweeted Swamy.
