In a statement, he said that the verdict proved that various Hindu leaders and seers were "falsely implicated" by the then Congress government at the Centre, which was  driven by its policy of political appeasement.

The Chief Minister said that the Congress should now "apologise for its deeds" after the court judgment.

A Special CBI court, hearing the mosque demolition case of December 6, 1992, acquitted the accused, saying it was "spontaneous and not a planned move".

Those acquitted in the case that lasted 28 years include former Deputy Prime Minister LK Advani, former Union Ministers MM Joshi and Uma Bharti, former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Kalyan Singh, and Mahant Nritya Gopal Das.
