New Delhi, June 11: Virtually putting a spanner in Kanchi Seer's fresh Ayodhya initiative, VHP today said "any give or take" on the issue with Muslims including giving up claim on Mathura and Kashi was "totally unacceptable" and such talks would not yield "constructive" results. Asserting that it was determined to build the Ram Temple at Ayodhya irrespective of the findings of the ongoing excavations by ASI, the Sangh Parivar outfit also threatened a massive agitation if a legislation facilitating the shrine's construction was not passed by the present Lok Sabha. Maintaining that VHP was not involved in the talks reportedly mediated by Shankaracharya, its senior vice-president Acharya Giriraj Kishore told reporters here, "To allow Muslims to offer prayers in all the monuments protected by ASI will trigger off a new controversy. Similarly, we are not willing to give up Mathura and Kashi." "We have given what they (Muslims) wanted in 1947," he said in an apparent reference to the country's partition and added, "It is now their turn. They should come forward."
Earlier, VHP central secretary Surendra Jain said it did not expect any "constructive results" from the talks as the Muslims had "backed out in the past". Bureau Report
