RSS seeks consensus on Ramjanmabhoomi issue
September 5th, 2010 - 9:26 pm ICT by IANSKolkata, Sep 5 (IANS) The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Sunday pitched for a national consensus on the controversial Ram Janmabhomi issue and said parliament should discuss the matter after a court delivers its judgment later this month.
“We want that a national consensus be created on the issue,” RSS spokesperson Ram Madhav said in an interaction with the media.
“We also want that after the court delivers the verdict, there should be discussion in parliament on the issue to create a consensus. As it is the government which will implement the court’s verdict,” he said.
A three-judge special bench of the Allahabad High Court, which concluded its hearing in the 125-year-old Ramjanmbhoomi-Babri Masjid case last month, will announce its verdict Sep 17.
After the long-standing dispute on whether the spot where the Babri Masjid was situated in Ayodhya was the birth place of Hindu deity Lord Ram, the 16th century mosque was razed to the ground by Hindu radicals in December 1992, triggering widespread communal violence in the country.
