Nagpur, Mar 06: There was no need for mediation between VHP and BJP on the Ayodhya issue as there was no discord between them on the matter, RSS joint spokesperson Ram Madhav said today. Briefing mediapersons here on the eve of the three-day RSS Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha meet, he remarked that both VHP and BJP leaders were mature persons. Hence, there was no question of RSS exercising any control over them. He also justified VHP's style of handling the issue saying it was perfectly in accordance with accepted democratic norms. At the same time, the BJP-led NDA government was not to be blamed for the delay in settling the issue, he added. “Though there is some delay, there are several factors like petitions pending before the courts,” Madhav said.

He equated Sangh Parivar outfits with mythological characters of Pandavas of Mahabharata.
