Parallel efforts on to solve Ayodhya issue

A parallel "endeavour" by Muslims and non-Sangh Parivar Hindu religious leaders to sort out the contentious Ayodhya issue on Tuesday demanded the arrest of Vishwa Hindu Parishad leaders.

They also rejected the mediation of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and the Shankaracharya of the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam, Jayendra Saraswati.

At a joint meeting, Hindu leaders led by Shankaracharya of Goverdhanpeeth Swami Adhokshajananda and Muslim Ulemas led by Maulana Nomani of the Jamiat-e-Ulema-e-Hind said no temple construction should be allowed till both communities reached a negotiated settlement.

"Any attempt (on the government's part) to seek RSS support through Jayendra Saraswathi is unacceptable," they said in a resolution adopted at the meet organised by the Universal Association for Spiritual Awareness in association with the Anjuman Minhaj-e-Rasool.

The meeting also demanded a ban on the VHP and Bajrang Dal and arrest of its leaders, including Ashok Singhal, Giriraj Kishore and Praveen Togadia under the National Security Act.

It also demanded that "all anti-social elements gathered in Ayodhya" be evicted.
