On 6 December 1992 , the RSS and its affiliates organised a rally involving more than 100,000 VHP and BJP activists at the site of the mosque . Under circumstances that are not entirely clear , the rally developed into a frenzied attack that ended with the demolition of the mosque . Over the following weeks , waves of violence between Hindus and Muslims erupted all over the country , killing over 2,000 people . The government briefly banned the VHP , and many BJP leaders , including Advani were arrested for making inflammatory speeches provoking the demolition . Several historians have said that the demolition was the product of a conspiracy by the Sangh Parivar , and not a spontaneous act
