Gauri claimed she was not surprised at Advani's "outpourings" as "even at home the family members used to say that the kar seva in Ayodhya would not remain restricted to bhajan or kirtan" .
"It was the common refrain during discussions at home that the BJP can only come to power by playing the religion card," she said.
Gauri alleged that after the Babri demolition, Advani exulted on returning home: "Jo karne gaye the, woh kar aye."
Gauri also alleged that neither Advani nor his family practised the Hindu religion and that the home minister had given a "false gotra" when asked for it before the commencement of the rath yatra. She said the family follows the Sikh religion.
The BJP has refused to comment on Gauri's application and the claims made therein. Senior party leader J P Mathur said, "We have not seen it. When we read it, we will talk about it."
"Kaam kar do... sahi samay aa gaya hai"
Following is the text of the application filed before the Liberhan Commission of Inquiry, on behalf of Gauri Advani, for becoming a witness to bring out the truth of the Babri Masjid demolition before the Commission:
Most respectfully showeth:
1. That the applicant is a Hindu by religion.
2. That the applicant got married on 12.10.1991 to Jayant Advani, son of L K Advani, the present home minister of India.
