The report declared some of the political heavyweights from Hindu extremist parties (among them the then ruling party BJP) culpable for the demolition of Janambhoomi Babri Masjid on December 6, 1992. It declared active or passive involvement of cadres of RSS, BD, VHP, BJP and SS along with their leaders who were present at the spot, in support of the demolition.
