Ayodhya dispute: Expecting favourable SC verdict, RSS steps up effort to preserve communal harmony, asks cadres for restraint
FirstpostThe RSS and BJP leaders have been deliberating at length over the issue and have come up to a well-considered decision to ask their cadre and sympathisers to respect the Supreme Court verdict. Ahead of the Supreme Court judgment on the Ayodhya dispute which is expected before 17 November, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and its affiliates are exercising extreme caution and taking efforts to ensure its cadres accept the verdict amicably. On Wednesday, Arun Kumar, the akhil Bharatiya prachar pramukh of RSS, took to Twitter to announce that an elaborate Pracharak Varg, which was scheduled to take place in Haridwar from 30 October to 5 November had been postponed “due to some unavoidable reasons” but a coordination meeting of a smaller group drawn from brass of Sangh, BJP, VHP and some other main affiliates was taking place in Delhi. Given the calendar of the Supreme Court, working days for the next two weeks has given rise to the speculation that the Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi-led five-judge bench may give verdict on Ayodhya by the end of next week.
