Babri Case Verdict Today, LK Advani, MM Joshi, Uma Bharti To Skip Court

The verdict in the 28-year-old case involving the demolition of Babri Masjid, which stood at the Ram Janmabhoomi site in Ayodhya, will be pronounced today by a special court in Lucknow. The 1992 demolition -- preceded by a series of rath yatras by the BJP's LK Advani -- had cost around 3,000 lives and changed the country's political landscape. The accused in the case include senior leaders of the ruling BJP - the party's founder-members Mr Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi, former ministers Uma Bharti and Kalyan Singh. But none of the four high-profile accused will be present in court. Mr Advani, 92, and Mr Joshi, 86, are exempted from attending on health grounds. Uma Bharti has contracted coronavirus and Kalyan Singh is recuperating from it.
