A body comprising Vishwa Hindu Parishad and religious leaders today decided to challenge the Allahabad high court judgment in Ayodhya title suits relating to the three-way division of the disputed land in the Supreme Court.
The leaders, who met at Kar Sevakpuram in Ayodhya under the auspices of Sant Uchadhikar Samiti, decided to approach the apex court on the division of the disputed land among Hindus and Muslims.
In a majority 2-1 verdict, the Lucknow Bench of the Court on September 30 ruled the entire disputed land should be divided into three equal parts among the Sunni Waqf Board, the Nirmohi Akhara and the parties representing 'Ram Lalla Virajman' (seated Baby Ram).
It had also held that the place where the makeshift temple of Lord Rama currently exists belongs to Hindus.
Advocate Trilok Nath Pandey representing 'Ram Lalla Virajman', a litigant in Ayodhya title suits, would move the Supreme Court challenging the three-way division of the land, Swami Vasudevanand Saraswati, who chaired the meeting, said.
VHP International president Ashok Singhal, who was present at the press conference, said only non-division of the land could resolve the lingering issue.
The court had also accepted that 'Ram Lala' is the owner of the land, he said.
Asserting a grand Ram temple would be constructed at the entire disputed land, Singhal said the Union government should enact a law for handing over of the land to the Hindu Samaj.
"Representatives of the Sant Uchadhikar Samiti will meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on October 23 or 24 and request him for enactment of a law for handing over of the entire area to Hindus to facilitate construction of a grand temple," he said.
The VHP leader cited the example of Somnath temple which was constructed by enacting a law.
"There should be no new mosque within the cultural boundary of Ayodhya," Singhal said.
On negotiated settlement of the Ayodhya tangle, he said in the past proposals in this regard had been made four times but to of no avail.
