Shimla: Congress on July 6 squarely blamed Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee for the failure to resolve the Ayodhya dispute in the wake of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board rejecting the Kanchi Shankaracharya's proposals.

"What I found is that the Prime Minister wanted to resolve the issue in an extraordinary manner by involving religious leaders. Prime Minister should have first sorted out the in-house problems. Before taking this step, adequate homework should have been done," senior party leader Pranab Mukherjee told reporters soon after the AIMPLB announced its decision.

Stating that Vajpayee should have sorted out "in-house" problems first, he noted that "extreme positions" were taken by some members of the Sangh Parivar before involving themselves.
