Ayodhya
(Uttar Pradesh): The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has
convened a meeting of leading seers here Wednesday to decide on
the road ahead after the verdict on the Ramjanmabhoomi-Babri
Masjid dispute.
The 41-member central committee of seers will assemble at the
Karsewak Puram camp.
Amongst those participating in the
meet will be Jyotishpeeth Shankaracharya Swami Vasudevanand
Saraswati, Gorakshpeeth chief Mahant Awaidhyanath, Ramjanmabhoomi
Trust president Mahant Nritya Gopal Das, Swami Chinmayanand and
the Ayodhya-based Mahant Ram Vilas Vedanti who is also a former
BJP MP.
VHP supremo Ashok Singhal, with second-in-command Praveenbhai
Togadia in attendance, will head the meeting.
This would be followed by a larger conference of Ayodhya seers on
Thursday.
"Today's meeting is significant as it is the first time after the
high court pronounced its verdict in the Ayodhya case that so many
Hindu saints are assembling under the VHP banner," said VHP
spokesperson Sharad Sharma.
"As the
All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has taken a
formal decision to take the Ayodhya battle to the Supreme Court,
it has become imperative for us to discuss the issue and take a
final decision," he added.
The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court ruled Sep 30 that
the disputed land should be divided between three parties -- the
Ram temple, the Nirmohi Akhara, a Hindu sect, and the Sunni
Central Waqf Board. It also ruled that the Babri Masjid stood on
the birthplace of Lord Ram.
