Union minister M Venkaiah Naidu today expressed confidence that top BJP leaders, charged with criminal conspiracy in the Babri mosque demolition case, will come out "unscathed" even as the Congress demanded resignation of Cabinet minister Uma Bharti.
Bharti, along with BJP veterans L K Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi among others, was charged by a special CBI court in Lucknow and also granted bail in the case.
The court framed charges under Section 120-B (criminal conspiracy) of Indian Penal Code against the BJP leaders.
Naidu told reporters the accused BJP leaders are "innocent" and will come out of the case "unscathed".
Naidu also noted that the NDA government did not move to withdraw the case against the top saffron leaders.
Arrival of the BJP veterans for the court appearance prompted the partys Hindutva faces to raise the pitch for the construction of Ram Temple.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath too met Advani.
