Babri Masjid was demolished 25 years ago on this day
The Babri Masjid was demolished on December 6, 1992, after a political rally organised by the VHP and BJP turned violent. The rally was aimed at gathering support for building a temple dedicated to Lord Ram at Ram Janmabhoomi. The crowd of over one lakh kar sevaks overwhelmed the security forces and tore down the mosque, reports said.
