Kanyakumari, July 06: VHP leaders Ashok Singhal and Pravin Togadia today said they had 'absolutely no hope' on the outcome of meeting of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board at Lucknow to consider the Kanchi Shankaracharya Jayendra Saraswathi's formula to solve the Ayodhya issue. "Zafaryab Jilani (AIMPLB member and All India Babri Masjid Action Committee convenor) has already rejected the seer's proposal. So we have absolutely no hope on the outcome of the Lucknow meet", Singhal told reporters on the sidelines of the RSS national executive meet here. Asked about the Shankaracharya's view that there was no need for a new mosque in Ayodhya, he said "we also stand by it".
