This December is not likely to be a particularly appealing month for the BJP. The rumpus in the Lok Sabha about chargesheeted ministers L.K. Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi and Uma Bharati continuing in the government after being named in the nine-year-old Babri Masjid demolition case has just died down, but summons for appearance in the specially designated court at Lucknow on December 22 is right at hand. Add to it the possibility of the Liberhan Commission finally speaking up officially this month about the way politicians and officials have declined to depose before it, calling attention to its largely futile existence of seven years.
