The Cobrapost sting operation has created ripples in political circles. The sting claims the demolition of the Babri Masjid on December 6, 1992 was pre-planned by the various wings of the Sangh parivar and executed with precision by volunteers who had been trained speciafically for the job. The sting also alleges that top RSS and BJP Leaders knew about the plan to demolish the Babri Masjid. Lets listen in to some reactions coming from those featured in the sting. The sting creates a massive controversy 3 days before polls. The timing of the sting raises question. The Sangh claims sting is sponsored to malign the BJP. Branding a sting operation on Babri Masjid demolition ahead of the Lok Sabha elections as "Congress sponsored", BJP today asked the Election Commission to stop its publication and telecast.
