The government today said it has accepted all the recommendations made by the Liberhan Commission in the backdrop of the Babri Masjid demolition and "positive action" would be taken on them.

"We have not rejected the recommendations. Each and every recommendation has been accepted and noted. The government is bound to take positive action," Law Minister Veerappa Moily said here.

He said the government may go beyond recommendations and "pick up from the conclusions" also.

Asked what action government was contemplating, Moily said: "It has already formulated the Action Taken report (ATR). The Liberhan Commission is a fact-finding mission and further to that each ministry is expected to take on that and take action."

"ATR is clearly indictment of 68 persons, who are responsible for all this episode. ATR also contains offences, which one has collected. Government has to take positive action," he added.

The former Karnataka Chief Minister said "the country needs justice" as demolition of the disputed structure had eroded and done irreparable damage to the secular and democratic fabric of the country.
