New Delhi, Feb 05: Samata Party, a key NDA ally, today cautioned the government against moving the Supreme Court on the Ayodhya issue and warned that it would be "extremely unwise" to hand over the undisputed plot to the Ram Janmabhoomi trust. "The government should not go to the Supreme Court for getting vacated last year's stay on any change in the status quo regarding the undisputed land till a larger bench disposed of related petitions," Samata Party spokesman Shambhu Shrivastwa told reporters.
Asking the Centre to leave the matter at that, he said if the stay was vacated, an executive order would be passed to hand over the undisputed land to the trust, which would incite communal passions across the country.
Shrivastwa said construction work in the undisputed land would make the temple construction a fait accompli before the court verdict comes.
"If the government passes such an executive order, VHP will definitely construct a major portion of the temple and virtually surround the proposed sanctum sanctorum. It will be a peculiar situation where the temple will be ready but the lord will be out," he said.
Construction of the Ram Temple would be a fait accompli then without any court settlement or Hindu-Muslim agreement, Shrivastwa said.
Stating that the problem should be solved safeguarding the rule of law, the constitution and honour of the country, he said the government should mediate with both communities for an amicable solution or wait for the court verdict. Bureau Report
