Lucknow:
Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh Monday urged party
leaders and activists to fan out across Uttar Pradesh and prepare
the people to observe peace and communal harmony after the Ayodhya
verdict is out Sep 24.
"Whatever be the judgement in the long-pending Ramjanmbhoomi-Babri
Masjid dispute, Congress workers are being advised to counsel
common people not to allow anything to cause any kind of communal
divide between people," he said at a press conference here.
"They ought to spread the word that the Ayodhya case is not a
Hindu or Muslim issue," he said.
"We have asked all members of the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee
to reach out to people in their respective areas and tell them to
observe calm and peace and not allow mischief mongers to misguide
or provoke them," Digvijay Singh added.
On the election of the state unit chief, he said the party leaders
have unanimously resolved to authorise Congress president Sonia
Gandhi to nominate the state chief, and other office bearers as
well members of the state executive.
Both key contenders - Rita Bahuguna Joshi, the present state chief
as well as Pramod Tiwari, the chief of Congress Legislature Party
CLP) - have said they had "full faith" in Sonia Gandhi, who would
be free to name the next state party president and other
functionaries.
