Cases were registered against many culprits including notable figures like Kalyan Singh, the then Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Shiv Sena-head Bal Thackeray and L. K. Advani. Yet, no judgment has been passed till date on this barbaric attack.

Led by L. K. Advani, thousands of Hindus marched towards Ayodhya before destructing the Babri Masjid. Hindu extremists claim that Zahir ud Din Babar tore down the birth place of Hindu God Ram and constructed a Mosque named Babri Masjid in its place. Meanwhile, there is an absence of evidence for such discourse in the past.

In fact, history recalls that Mughal Kind Zahir ud Din Babar constructed Babri Masjid in the 16th century. The mosque is an ideal example of Islamic craftsmanship. Muslims in India have been seeking justice in court for the past 24 years but all in vain.
