AYODHYA (UP): Dismissing the role of BJP leader Subramanian Swamy as negotiator for the Ram temple issue, the main parties to the case today demanded setting up a panel of Supreme Court judges to initiate the talks in the vexed matter.
The Supreme Court had on Tuesday suggested an out-of-court settlement of the lingering Ram Janmabhoomi- Babri Masjid land dispute at Ayodhya, observing that issues of “religion and sentiments” can be best resolved through talks.
Swamy was asked by the apex court to consult the parties and inform it about their decision on amicable resolution of the matter on March 31.
Mahant Ram Das, chief priest of Nirmohi Akhara and the main claimant to the title over the disputed land, reacted sharply over Swamy’s appointment as the “mediator” in the case. (AGENCIES)
