Allahabad: Flaying those questioning the credibility of Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) report on the existence of a temple-like structure at Ayodhya, Human Resource Development Minister Murli Manohar Joshi on September 12 said such people could also question the judicial verdict on Ayodhya if it goes against their wishes.

"Those people who are now questioning the veracity of the ASI report on the issue, may also question the judicial verdict in this regard if it were to go against their wishes," he told reporters.

Joshi said the report had vindicated Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) stand on the issue and now it was for the judiciary to speed up the proceedings before making a final decision in this regard.

To a question whether his party would make Ayodhya a poll plank, the Minister said his party has no intention to do so, but if the Opposition parties rake up the issue then the BJP is bound to reply.
