Governor Ram Naik on Wednesday said that the Supreme Court will have the final word on the vexed Ayodhya issue. Naik was commenting on the meeting between spiritual guru and Art of living founder Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The spiritual guru has said he would mediate in the Ramjanambhoomi-Babri masjid dispute and meet all stakeholders.
The Governor said, "Ram Mandir issue is pending before the Supreme Court, which has said that if concerned parties come to a solution after discussions, then it would be very good."
"The ones who think that this issue should be solved are putting in their efforts. I want they should succeed, but I feel that the final word will be that of the Supreme Court and everybody should accept it," Naik said.
The Governor refused to comment on the meeting between Union Home minister Rajnath Singh and Muslim clerics on the same issue in New Delhi.
"You cannot ask me for a political comment as I will not be able to give one because of my post's dignity," Naik said.
On Monday, Ramjanambhoomi and Babri Masjid issue grabbed headlines again when Sri Sri Ravi Shankar said that he would open talks with stakeholders in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute.
