NEW DELHI, Nov. 24 (UPI) -- India's Parliament was in an uproar Tuesday after the official release of a report condemning the 1992 demolition of the Babri Masjid mosque, officials said.
Pushing and yelling erupted between opposition and government members of Parliament over the 900-page report that was 17 years in the making, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Sixty-eight people, including former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, and former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Kalyan Singh, allowed "wanton violence against human life," the report said.
While Vajpayee was not available for comment, Singh called the demolition a "day of national pride," the Journal reported.
More than 2,000 people across India were killed in riots sparked by the destruction of the Muslim mosque in Ayodhya by Hindu rioters on Dec. 6, 1992.
