'The party sticks to its earlier stand on the issue. The issue can either be solved through talks or the court verdict... whatever it is should be accepted by all,' party chief Sharad Yadav said.
With the Allahabad high court set to give its ruling on Ayodhya title suit this month, JD(U) today said the issue can either be solved through negotiations or a court verdict which everybody should accept.
It also refused to accept that the verdict could have any impact on its tie-up with BJP in Bihar.
"The party sticks to its earlier stand on the issue. The issue can either be solved through talks or the court verdict... whatever it is should be accepted by all. I appeal to people we should take the court verdict calmly," party chief Sharad Yadav told reporters amid apprehensions of law and order problems following the ruling on September 24.
He was responding to queries on RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's remarks that the aspirations of the Hindu society is that there should be a temple at Ram Janmabhoomi and "our response
to the verdict will be according to that wishes."
Bhagwat had at the same time said that RSS' response to the Ayodhya title suit verdict will be within "law and Constitution" indicating that further legal options can be availed of if the ruling is not up to its expectation.
Yadav said that the issue should not be linked to politics. Asked whether the decision will have any bearing on BJP-JD(U) tie up in Bihar, Yadav remarked, "How the decision of September 24 is related to Bihar election?"
The JD(U) leader downplayed BJP's yesterday's flip-flop on Narendra Modi campaigning for Bihar elections, saying the "issue came up yesterday. Now it is finished."
BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi had yesterday said that Modi will campaign in Bihar but backtracked later. The issue prompted JD(U) leader Shivanand Tiwari to demand a reconsideration of the NDA alliance in Bihar.
Yadav also hailed the Supreme Court yesterday asking the Centre and Union Telecom Minister A Raja for a response on a plea urging the court to monitor a CBI probe into alleged irregularities in the 2008 sale of 2G spectrum licences.
He said his party has repeatedly raised the issue of corruption in spectrum licences, which stand proved now. "We will not leave the issue. We will keep raising it," he said.
On Kashmir, Yadav refused to specify the party stand on the issue of withdrawal of Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA), saying he would give his opinion in the all-party meeting called by Prime Minister Mamohan Singh on Wednesday.
