Both the BJP and the Congress traded charges against each other on the Liberhan report in the Lok Sabha. Both the parties also came under attack as tempers ran high in the House as it debated the report on the demolition of the disputed structure. While the BJP faced sharp criticism by several parties for conspiring to demolish the disputed structure at Ayodhya and dividing the people on communal lines, the Congress which was the ruling party at the centre at the time of demolition was also blamed for not taking action to prevent the demolition. Later intervening in the debate, Minority Affairs Minister, Salman Khurshid admitted that the only mistake committed by the then government at the Centre was that it trusted the UP government' commitment to protect the disputed structure.<br/>
