  DNA - India - Ayodhya demolition a well-planned conspiracy: Centre - Daily News & Analysis
The UPA government's submission is in sharp contrast to that of its predecessor National Democratic Alliance that had told the commission that the demolition was a result of a sudden uncontrollable upsurge of kar sevaks present at Ayodhya on December 6, 1992 and no individual or group was responsible for it.
Terming the demolition a "well-planned conspiracy", the UPA Government said it started in 1989, when BJP and the Sangh Parivar lent support to the construction of the Ram Temple and the Palampur Resolution was passed by the saffron party wherein they (BJP) resolved to remove all obstacles to the construction of the temple.
The government of UP had acquired 2.77 acres of land in the Ram Jamnmabhoomi-Babri Masjid complex, showing the ostensible purpose of acquisition in the notification as "development of tourism and providing amenities to pilgrims".

 India’s role in US-led gang-up against Iran inflames debate over Indo-US ties : SF Indymedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Manmohan Singh and the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance government have touted this agreement as constituting international recognition of India as a nuclear-weapons state and great power and as a partial solution to India’s energy shortfall, since it will allow India to import civilian nuclear technology from the US and other Nuclear Supplier Group states.
But the government has given out many signals both before and since that if push had come to shove it would have chosen to pursue closer relations with the US and the prospect of US help, to use the words of Condoleezza Rice, in India becoming a world power.
And while the UPA government is simultaneously seeking to broaden India’s ties to China, the Indian political elite is acutely aware that the US is courting India because it sees India playing the role of counterweight to China.
