The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement on March 31, 201.

THE appeal against the Allahabad High Court verdict acquitting top BJP and VHP leaders of criminal conspiracy in the demolition of the Babri Masjid is pending before the Supreme Court.  The CBI had made the appeal nine months after the High Court verdict of May 2010.  The CBI has been lax in pursuing the matter in the Supreme Court.

 The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) demands that the CBI pursue the appeal vigorously in the Supreme Court and not be influenced by extraneous considerations given the fact that top leaders of the ruling party are involved in the case.
