Ayodhya issue can be solved through negotiations

Ayodhya, October 20:President of the Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha (ABHM) Swami Chakrapani today said that a settlement in the Ranjnamabhoomi-Babri mosque dispute could be worked out amicably through negotiations.

His statement points to a shift in the stand of the ABHM, one of the main parties in the dispute, as earlier this month it had filed a caveat in the Supreme Court to pre-empt any ex-parte order in the Ayodhya title suit case.

Chakrapani made the statement while talking to reporters after meeting Mahant Gyan Das of the Nirmohi Akhara and lauding his efforts for reaching a cordial settlement to the vexed Ayodhya dispute.

A meeting of ABHM’s national working committee would be held in Ayodhya on October 31 in which the main issues would be construction of the temple and development of the town, Chakrapani said.
