Mediation in Ayodhya Dispute Good for India: Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
“If it (Ayodhya dispute) can be resolved through any mediation, it will be very good for the country,” Shankar said.
Spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, appointed by the Supreme Court as a member of a panel to mediate the Ayodhya land dispute, said on Friday, 8 March, that it would be good for the country if the issue could be resolved through any mediation.
"If it (Ayodhya dispute) can be resolved through any mediation, it will be very good for the country," Shankar said. He was on his way to Haldwani city of Uttarakhand's Nainital district to be part of an event.
Earlier in the day, the apex court referred the decades-old politically-sensitive Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid case for mediation by a panel headed by former top court judge FMI Kalifulla for exploring the possibility of an amicable settlement.
"Respecting everyone, turning dreams to reality, ending long-standing conflicts happily and maintaining harmony in society – we must all move together towards these goals," Shankar had tweeted soon after the top court order.
