Raipur, July 18: The BJP resolution on the Ayodhya issue, to be adopted at its national executive meeting, which began here today, is expected to strike a delicate balance between mollifying a restive BJP and keeping its secular NDA allies in good humour. The resolution, apparently being brought under pressure from the party`s Sangh Parivar associates, is expected to reaffirm BJP`s commitment to the construction of Ram Temple at the disputed site, party sources said. However, with a view not to offend the sensitivity of its coalition partners, the resolution is likely to express its helplessness to introduce a bill in the absence of adequate numbers in Parliament. The decision not to make any major shift in its stand also stems from a realisation that the Ayodhya issue would have little impact on the coming assembly elections in five states.
The resolution would emphasise on resolving the issue through negotiations in a cordial atmosphere besides stressing on expediting the judicial process, the sources said.
