Ajmer: The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) on June 19 asked the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government to come out clearly how it proposed to resolve the Ayodhya issue and avoid "underhand dealings".

"The government should come out with a clear policy on Ayodhya instead of indulging in underhand dealings," VHP's international general secretary Pravin Togadia told reporters.

Expressing his unhappiness with the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) handling of the Ayodhya issue since coming to power at the Centre, he said, "BJP should not take Hindus for granted."

"The Hindus", he said, "would not tolerate bending of knees by any one before Muslims for electoral benefits."

Togadia also accused the Centre of "wooing" Pakistan, even after its President Pervez Musharraf failed to rule out a second Kargil.

Asked if he would address election meetings in Rajasthan as he had done in Gujarat, Togadia said he was yet to decide about it.

Earlier, he appeared in a local court in connection with criminal cases registered against him by the Rajasthan police for conducting 'trishul deeksha' in Ajmer in April.
