New Delhi, Sep 28 (IANS) Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) general secretary Prakash Karat Tuesday said the Allahabad High Court verdict on the Ayodhya suit should be respected by all.
‘There can only be a judicial resolution to the problem,’ Karat told reporters after the Supreme Court rejected a plea to defer the verdict in the case.
‘We welcome the (Supreme Court) decision. The verdict should be pronounced now and it should be respected by all,’ Karat said.
Karat said the five days delay was unnecessary.
The Supreme Court paved the way for the Allahabad High Court to give its verdict on the dispute, dismissing a petition that sought its postponement. The high court has decided to announce the verdict Sep 30 at 3.30 p.m.
On the high court verdict, which is expected Sep 30, Communist Party of India (CPI) deputy general secretary S. Sudhakar Reddy said: ‘Some day, we have to face the reality.’
He said there should not be a feeling that the verdict is against one party or the other.
‘It should be taken legally,’ Reddy told IANS.
The apex court last week ordered an interim stay on the pronouncement of the Ramjanmabhoomi-Babri Masjid title suit verdict by the high court, acting on a petition by former bureaucrat Ramesh Chandra Tripathi.
