The Congress party has reacted with caution to the deposition of senior Indian Police Service (IPS) officer Anju Gupta, who was L K Advani's security officer during the demolition of the Babri Masjid on December 6, 1992.
Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi said Gupta's statement before a court in Rae Bareilly is crucial in convicting the guilty.
"This (Anju's deposition) is the first official, direct eyewitness testimony in legal and technical sense in this (Babri mosque demolition case) matter. We must exercise restrain and respect the process of law," said Singhvi.
"But, it is extremely serious and, it is extremely important and provisions (of law) involved are extremely serious," he added.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) refused to comment saying the matter is subjudice.
"This kind of issue (eyewitness account) has also come before the Liberhan Commission. We would not like comment on the judicial process and her (Anju's) testimony in the court," said Ramnath Kovind, a spokesperson of the BJP.
