The
Central
Committee
of
the
Communist
Party
of
India
(Marxist),
meeting
here
in
Kolkata,
has
issued
the
following
statement
:
The
statement
made
by
five
of
the
49
accused
in
the
criminal
case
concerning
the
demolition
of
the
Babri
Masjid
has
confirmed
once
again
that
both
Mr.
Advani
and
Mr.
Joshi
alongwith
Ms.
Uma
Bharati
and
other
leaders
of
the
BJP
and
the
VHP
were
the
main
instigators
that
led
to
the
demolition
of
the
Babri
Masjid
in
December
1992.
The
CPI(M)
had
last
week,
when
the
CBI
filed
a
fresh
supplementary
chargesheet
against
Mr.
Advani
and
eight
others,
demanded
that
they
immediately
demit
office.
Even
a
remote
consideration
of
political
morality
would
warrant
that
these
cabinet
ministers
must
immediately
resign.
This
is
particularly
so
for
Mr.
Advani
who
holds
the
Home
portfolio,
a
ministry
which
presides
over
these
investigations.
The
CPI(M)
Central
Committee
demands
once
again
that
Mr.
Advani
and
Mr.
Joshi
must
quit
immediately.
Failing
to
do
so
will
only
confirm
the
fact
that
the
RSS/BJP
is
utilizing
its
control
over
the
state
apparatus
to
manipulate
the
case
and
protect
the
guilty.
