Former Bharatiya Janata Party [Images] leader Kalyan Singh [Images], who was the Uttar Pradesh [Images] chief minister when the Babri Masjid was demolished in Ayodhya, on Thursday asked the government to table -- at the earliest -- the Liberhan Commission report in Parliament along with the Action Taken Report.

'The Liberhan report has lost its relevance'

"The government should table the report at the earliest along with ATR. The Commission has submitted the report after a delay (about 17 years) and the government should not delay it any further," Singh told media persons outside Parliament.

Singh, whose government was dismissed after the demolition, said: "We are ready for a debate."

He wondered why the government was still non-committal on the issue of tabling the report in this session of Parliament.
Singh, who is an independent member of the Lok Sabha, said he was the last witness before the Commission and had appeared before it two years ago.

"Earlier, the Commission was calling me an accused. I told them that I will go there only as a witness and not as accused," he said.

Meanwhile, Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad demanded that the names of all the 'destructive elements', indicted by the Liberhan Commission should be made public and strict action taken against them.
