The newly appointed working president of Ram Janmmabhoomi Nyas, Mahant Nritya Gopal Das on Tuesday said discussion will be held with local Muslims leaders in order to reach an understanding on the Ram Temple issue and ensure their cooperation and participation in its construction, reports PTI.
"It is necessary that the Muslim community is taken into confidence for resolving the Ram Temple issue to ensure permanent peace and amity in the country, " Das said here.
The Mahant said he was aware of the enormous task before him as the working president of the Nyas. On the recent initiative of the Shankaracharya of Kanchi Pith, Jayendra Saraswati, to resolve the long-pending dispute through dialogue, he said the Shankaracharya had held informal talks with the Muslim leaders of Ayodhya during his visit besides discussing the issue with the saints, as well and added that such moves could help create a conducive atmosphere for temple construction.
The Mahant said it was of utmost
importance that the temple be constructed through mutual agreement between
the two communities. "It is not important whether it is constructed
by VHP or BJP or any other organisation," he added.
