Press Statement

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:

 

Ayodhya : No Change In Status-quo

 

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) expresses its strong disapproval of the
petition moved by the Central Government in the Supreme Court to 'remove the
status quo on the non-disputed land' that it had acquired in Ayodhya.  It
wants to hand over this land to the Ram Janmabhoomi Nyas that had been set
up by the VHP to undertake the construction of the Ram temple on the site.  

 

In 1993, the Supreme Court had ordered that the status quo be maintained on
67 acres of land that had been acquired.  The Centre now claims that only
0.313 acres is actually disputed.

 

This move by the Centre is clearly aimed at appeasing the Sangh Parivar
which is demanding immediate construction of the temple at all costs.
Obviously, all these moves are being orchestrated keeping the impending Lok
Sabha elections in mind.

 

The Polit Bureau strongly condemns this devious effort to pre-empt the
Supreme Court decision.
