Should the Centre impose President's Rule in Uttar Pradesh to stall VHP's temple designs? Post your views

New Delhi: As All India Muslim Personal Law Board rejected Kanchi Shankaracharya's proposals to settle the Ayodhya issue, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) on July 6 hardened its stand saying if they do not agree to handover the disputed site for construction of Ram temple they will lose not only Kashi, Mathura and Ayodhya but "many more things".

"We had expected such a decision," VHP senior vice president Acharya Giriraj Kishore said, adding Kanchi Shankaracharya Jayendra Saraswati should not have sent the proposal to the AIMPLB in the first place.

Firebrand VHP leader Praveen Togadia said in Kanyakumari that this was the "last opportunity for Muslims to earn the goodwill of Hindu community".

"If they do not concede to this demand (of handing over the disputed land to Hindus) they will lose many things not just Kashi, Mathura and Ayodhya," he said.

Reiterating the demand for enactment of a Legislation to hand over disputed land at Ayodhya to Hindus, Kishore said VHP would launch an agitation for the purpose.

The VHP leader also asserted that no mosque should be built close to Ram Janambhoomi and pointed out that Kanchi seer had also talked on the same lines.
