The accusation made against Lal Krishna Advani by his former security officer for provoking his followers to raze the Babri Masjid and subsequent rioting and killing of innocent victims will definitely help in serving the cause of justice in the Babri Masjid case. Simultaneously, the questioning of Narendra Modi by SIT over his role in the killings of Muslims in Gujarat seems to be moving in the right direction. The leaders of political outfits should be held accountable for the crimes committed by their supporters based on their rhetoric and tacit support. Deterrent punishment should be given to the persons, who are directly abetting the crime, however mighty they are, so that in future such shameful incidents do not happen.
