Lok Sabha adjourned over Liberhan row

From correspondents in Delhi, India, 12:01 PM IST

The row over the Liberhan Commission of Inquiry into the 1992 Babri Masjid demolition led to the Lok Sabha being adjourned till 12 noon Monday.

While the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) demanded that the report be tabled in the house, following a media report that the Liberhan Commission has indicted senior party leaders, including Atal Bihari Vajpayee and L.K. Advani, Home Minister P. Chidambaram said there had been no leakage of the report.

There was only one copy of the report and that was with the home ministry, he said.

Dissatisfied with the reply, the opposition led by the BJP stuck to its demand that the report be immediately tabled. BJP members gathered near Speaker Meira Kumar's podium, raising slogans.

When the din refused to subside, the speaker adjourned the house.
