Congress responsible for Babri Demolition-Mayawati
'Timely intervention by the Congress, which was ruling at the centre at that time, could have prevented the demolition of the Babri Masjid,' Mayawati told reporters here.
Even after it received information from various intelligence agencies and other sources that the BJP and its allies were planning to raze the mosque, the Congress preferred to look the other way, she added.
'Had the Congress acted on the information provided by the Intelligence Bureau (IB), the Babri Masjid demolition would not have taken place,' Mayawati said.
'The Congress should have acted against the BJP, which was ruling Uttar pradesh then. Such an intervention could have prevented the riots and communal clashes that erupted in various parts of the country (after the mosque demolition),' Mayawati claimed.
Asking the central government to make public the Liberhan Commission report, submitted to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh earlier in the day, Mayawati said she hoped that the report would also shed light on the involvement of the Congress in the mosque demolition.
'The report should be made public as it would be in the interest of transparency,' said Mayawati, adding that those indicted by the probe panel should be punished severely.
'Now, the entire country will watch the action the central government takes against those involved in the demolition. Now, it is to be seen whether the central government would be able to muster the courage needed to punish the guilty,' she said.
The panel headed by Justice (retd) M.S. Liberhan was set up in 1992 to investigate the Dec 6, 1992, demolition of the 16th century mosque that led to widespread communal violence. Hindu rightwing groups maintain that the mosque was built on the site where Lord Ram was born.
'The commission should not have taken such a long time in its investigation as it results in the wastage of money,' Mayawati added.
Bandra Worli Sea Link Inaugurated By UPA chair person Sonia Gandhi
Congress president Sonia Gandhi will inaugurate the much-awaited Bandra Worli sea link here today.

Spectacular fireworks enthralled the residents, a day before the opening of the link, which will facilitate rapid conveyance from Mumbai's west to south.
"I just loved this event that is happening here. The fireworks were just amazing, I loved to watch it," said Neelam Mansi, a resident.
People said that the new bridge would save a lot of commuting time.

Tata Motors Posts loss after 7 years
Tata motors reported its first annual loss in seven years, buffeted by a slump in global demand and losses at the Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) unit it acquired in 2008 for $2.5 billion (roughly Rs 12,000 crore).
The company on Friday reported a consolidated loss of Rs 2,505.25 crore for the year ended March 31, 2009, against a stand-alone profit of Rs 2,167.70 crore a year ago. But the total income grew by 99% to Rs 70,938.85 crore compared to Rs 35,660.07 crore (Tata Motors alone) in the same period last year.
"This is the first time the company is announcing consolidated results with JLR. JLR had made a profit in 2007 and continued to do so in the first half of 2008," said Ravi Kant, vice-chairman, Tata Motors. He added that the company is making "JLR stand on its own feet and will undertake major belt-tightening measures."
As part of the cost-cutting measures, Tata is looking at sourcing components for JLR from low-cost countries and trimming its capital expenditure plans. On an average, JLR capex plan stands at around 650 million pounds (around Rs 5,149 crore), including tooling and product development.
The company said further job cuts and plant shut-downs could be on the radar. Around 2,000 JLR employees have already lost jobs and the current strength stands at 15,000. "For cost-cutting measures, we have sent people on sabbatical and now have a tight control on cash flows. Various restructuring methods are undertaken wherein we are postponing certain projects that are not very important. We have also shut down some plants and will shut down more, if required," added Kant.
The JLR unit has posted a net loss of 281 million pounds (around Rs 2,218 crore) in the 10 months of the fiscal year to March 2009. There has been a 32% drop in the overall sales of JLR during this period, to 1.67 lakh units from 2.46 lakh units, said C Ramakrishnan, chief financial officer, Tata Motors. While the fall in sales of Land Rover was 40%, the sales of Jaguar fell just 4%. Major markets such as North America and the UK saw a huge drop in demand. Russia and China, however, showed some signs of growth.
"We would work towards bringing the break-even point come earlier for the JLR. The entire Tata group is very bullish and we expect that the company will perform well. Our sales rationalisation has improved our logistics cost and we need to focus more on improving the quality of technology," Kant said.
The company will introduce Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles in India on June 28.
Talking about the cash flow requirements of JLR, Ramakrishnan said the company is in a comfortable position and can run the show even if talks with the UK government for a guarantee for the 340 million pounds (Rs 2,693 crore) from European Investment Bank (EIB) fail. Kant said the amount has been sanctioned by EIB and now the company is awaiting a guarantee from the government or a financial institution.
20 K Pound Mahatma Gandhi Statue unveiled in Leichester
A large statue of Mahatma Gandhi has been unveiled in this southeastern English city on Friday by British Home Secretary Alan Johnson amid tight security after internet protesters warned it could be defaced.
Around 1,000 people, including a large number ethnic Indians, turned up to watch the unveiling by Johnson and Hindu spiritual leader Swami Satyamitrananda of Hardwar.
The seven and a half feet tall bronze statue is placed on five-and-a-half-foot plinth.
Sculpted by Gautam Pal and shipped from Kolkata, it was placed on Belgrave Road, a thriving Indian business and shopping area in the heart of Leicester, a city known as Little India for its population of 280,000 ethnic Indians - the second largest Indian settlement in Britain after London.
Local MP Keith Vaz, one of the main drivers of the project - Indian Consul General Jordana Pavel, Leicester Lord Mayor Roger Blackmoore, the city's second MP Peter Salisbury, several noted businessmen and councilors and members of the charity Samanvaya Parivar, attended the unveling of the 20,000 pound statue.
Women broke into spontaneous singing of 'Raghupati Raghav' and 'Vaishnava Jana to' - two of Gandhi's favourite Hindi hymns - as the statue was unveiled before milling crowds.
Johnson said the Gandhi statue would offer 'comfort, reassurance and serenity to people in Leicester and around the world.'
"Inclusiveness and diversity were the cornerstones of Gandhi's beliefs long before these words became fashionable," added Vaz.
The statue was paid for by the charity Samanvaya Parivar.
Some locals who said authorities should honour Leicester football hero Gary Lineker instead of Gandhi opposed the statue, sculpted in the famous Dandi salt march pose.
But the former England captain declared he supported Gandhi for reasons of diversity.Attack on Indian students will be Put to an end-Australian Envoy
Australian High Commissioner John McCarthy says every possible effort will be made to ensure that attacks on Indian students in Australia are not repeated, adding that the authorities will 'pursue those responsible' for the assaults.
In a letter to the Non-Aligned Students and Youth Movement (NASYM) that had staged a demonstration here June 18 against the attacks on Indian students in Australia, McCarthy said: 'The Australian government will make every effort to ensure that attacks are not repeated and that Australia remains a preferred destination for students from around the world.'
He said that the Australian government is working closely with the Indian government on the issue.
In his letter, the high commissioner also said that a 'hotline has been established to assist the Indian students in Australia, staffed by people fluent in Hindi and English, through which students can raise concerns anonymously'.
There have been at least 16 attacks on Indian students in Australia over the last few weeks.
