Recently, CBI had appealed in the Supreme Court that senior leader Lal Krishna Advani along with other leaders should face trail in the demolition case.
Other prominent leaders charged of conspiring the demolition were Murli Manohar Joshi, Uma Bharti, Vinay Katiyar, Sadhvi Ritambhara and many more.
Reiterating her association with the massacre, Bharti said that she was proud to be the part of movement.
"I am never worried that my name is associated with Babri mosque demolition case. In fact, I feel that my association with Ayodhya movement will be a boon for my upcoming seven generations. I am unapologetic for being involved with Ayodhya movement. I have never repented for this and I still do not regret it," said Bharti.
Fanatic Hindu mobs reportedly patronised by BJP and Hindu radicals Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) and Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) had demolished mosque at Ayodhya on December 06 in 1992, claiming it was built at the birthplace of Lord Rama.
The demolition of the 16th century mosque in Ayodhya triggered some of India's worst riots that killed about 2,000 people.
A 2009 inquiry report compiled by Justice Liberhan indicted several top BJP figures for triggering the demolition. These include senior leader L K Advani and former Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee.
The BJP rejected the Liberhan Commission report whilst protestors said the Indian government must take action against them.
On the same lines, Allahabad High Court order had earlier dismissed the CBI appeal against Advani, who led Hindus on a pilgrimage to tear down the mosque.
BJP leaders have been accusing federal ruling Congress party for pressurizing CBI to reopen the case against the perpetrators.
Hindus and Muslims have quarrelled for more than a century over the history of the Babri mosque.
In September 2010, the Allahabad High Court ruled that the site should be split, with the Muslim community getting control of a third, Hindus another third and the remainder going to the Nirmohi Akhara, a minority Hindu sect and one of the early litigants in the case.
The Supreme Court however suspended the ruling in May 2011.
A two-justice bench questioned the reasoning behind the decision and banned either of the groups from beginning construction activities.
Hindus say that the demolished mosque was built by a Mughal Emperor on the ruins of a razed temple that marked the birthplace of Ram, the popular Hindu warrior God.
Hindus make up around 80 percent of India's 1.2 billion populations. Muslims account for 13 percent.
