Indicted by the Liberhan Commission report as one of those responsible for the Babri Masjid demolition, Uma Bharti today said she takes moral responsibility for the incident but will fight it legally as she can easily prove that she had no hand in the destruction of the mosque.

"Definitely I take moral responsibility for whatever happened that day (December 6, 1992) because I also gave a call to people to come there and gather there...But legally I will fight against it because I don't hold myself responsible (for destruction of the mosque)," the former BJP leader said.

She said she was proud to be a part of the 'Ram Janma Bhoomi Movement'.

She said she holds three systems responsible for the incident -- "the undue delay by the judicial system of the country to decide who is the real owner of the disputed land. Second, the insensitivity of the bureaucracy and third, the politics related to minority".
