Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Liberhan Commission, officially known as the Liberhan Ayodhya Commission of Inquiry, was appointed by the Ministry of Home Affairs on December 16, 1992 [2]. Its primary mandate was to investigate the sequence of events leading to the demolition of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya on December 6, 1992 [3]. Led by Justice M.S. Liberhan, the commission examined the circumstances and conspiracy surrounding the destruction of the structure at the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid complex [4]. It became the longest-running inquiry in Indian history, spanning seventeen years and submitting its final report in June 2009 [3]. While other commissions like the Nanavati-Mehta Commission dealt with the 1984 Anti-Sikh riots and the Godhra incident, the Liberhan Commission specifically focused on the Ayodhya crisis and the subsequent demolition. The report identified key political figures and administrative failures that facilitated the event [4].
