Question:

In 1992, when Babri Masjid was attacked, who was the Prime Minister of India?

Options:

H.D. Deve Gowda

P. V. Narasimha Rao

Vishwananth PratapSingh

Atal Bihari Vajpayee

Correct Answer:

P. V. Narasimha Rao

Explanation:

The demise of Rajiv Gandhi in May 1991 brought about a shift in the leadership of the Congress party. In the subsequent 1991 elections, the Congress emerged as the largest individual party. Following Rajiv Gandhi's tragic passing, Narasimha Rao was elected as the Prime Minister by the party.
A series of events eventually led to the dismantling of the disputed structure in Ayodhya, commonly referred to as Babri Masjid, in December 1992.
P.V. Narasimha Rao was the Prime Minister of India at that time.
