New Delhi:
The Congress said Friday that party general secretary Rahul Gandhi
had reflected the aspirations of a very large section of the youth
by his suggestion that there were more pressing concerns in the
country like education and infrastructure than the Ayodhya
dispute.
Responding to queries about Gandhi's remarks on Thursday during a
closed-door session with students at IIT Guwahati, Congress
spokesman Manish Tewari said that the party leader had
"contextualised" the dispute.
"He has reflected the aspirations of a very large section of young
people. I can tell you that even way back in 1985, young India,
even at that time, had felt that issues connected with daily life
are something more fundamental and pertinent to governance,"
Tewari said.
The spokesman said that Gandhi had only "underscored the kind of
India that he and the younger generation aspire to build".
The Congres general secretary was asked if it was worthwhile at
this time to spend time and energy over whether a temple or mosque
should be built at Ayodhya. He replied, saying his personal view
was that there were many fundamental issues which were more
important like infrastructure, type of education provided to
youngsters and the type of technology used by people.
The Supreme Court Thursday ordered an interim stay till Sep 28 on
the pronouncement of the Ayodhya verdict by the Lucknow bench of
the Allahabad High Court. The high court was due to deliver its
verdict on the Babri Masjid-Ramjanmabhoomi title suit Friday.

Due to the threats of riot and
terror attacks, the festive season in India
nowadays results in sleepless nights for the security
personnel.
Against this backdrop, the show of communal harmony in Malegaon by Ajantha Mandal cannot be more timely. The Mandal
in a large hoarding portrays the real picture of the Muslim
dominated textile town in North Maharashtra. It shows,
Malegaon is where Azan in a Masjid and Shunkh
in a Mandir go simultaneously. To further make its point,
the Mandal plays communal harmony songs on a cassette-player
in its full sound.
