But the Government kept worrying about what the Muslims would feel if this was done and exactly after one month from the Babri episode, 16 lives were lost in Bombay.

Yesterday 11 people were killed. 100 persons were injured. Houses and shops were burnt down ...... Even then police say situation is normal. Whom are they deceiving ? ....................
