Congress to wait for SC decision on Ayodhya

The Congress on Tuesday decided to wait for the final decision of the Supreme Court on the Ayodhya title suit verdict by a high court before reaching at a stance.

The Congress Working Committee on Tuesday discussed the party’s strategy and future course in the aftermath of the Allahabad High Court verdict on the Ayodhya title suit case.

?We respect the judicial process with respect to the Ayodhya verdict,? Janardhan Dwivedi said, informing about the meeting?s outcome.

?We must wait for the final decision of the apex couirt as and when appeal is filed,? he added.

Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh are among the top leaders who participated in the meet which also discussed the situation in the Kashmir Valley.

Treading cautiously on the communal minefield, a three-member Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court on Thursday (September 30) passed a verdict upholding the Hindu claim that the disputed site is the birthplace of Lord Rama but ruled that the land would be divided into three parts with one third going to the Muslims along with one third for the Hindus.

Rejecting the Sunni Waqf Board and Nirmohi Akhara?s title suit, the Lucknow bench of Allahabad High Court on Thursday said Hindu deity Lord Ram was born indeed on the disputed Ayodhya site, bringing a temporary closure on the 60-year-old dispute since the judgement can now be challenged in the Supreme Court.
