"The pattern is..very similar," the Communist Party of India - Marxist (CPI-M) leader told reporters today. "At the time of the Babri Masjid's demolition, you have the heads of the volunteers wearing the saffron bands...the same dress that you found [there then]...[a] similar thing is being done here."
