New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Rajnath Singh and the deputy leader in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj will present the party's view on the Liberhan Commission report and the Action Taken Report (ATR) as the house debates it Monday and Tuesday.

A notice for discussion on the commission report and the ATR has been given by Communist Party of India (CPI) leader Gurudas Dasgupta and Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) leader Basudeb Acharia, said parliament officials here Sunday.

The discussion, to be held under Rule 193, does not entail voting.

Several leaders of the BJP, including former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Leader of Opposition L.K. Advani, have been indicted by the Liberhan Commission report that probed the Dec 6, 1992, Babri Masjid demolition.

"Rajnathji and Sushmaji will present our party's views in the Lok Sabha," said BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain.

Earlier, the discussion, slated for Dec 1 was postponed after the Samajwadi Party insisted that copies of report should be made available in Hindi also.

The Rajya Sabha is scheduled to take up discussion on the report Dec 9.
