October 14, 2010 18:23 IST
Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh [ Images ] said on Thursday that he agreed with Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat's statement that the Allahabad high court's verdict on Ayodhya did not amount to a victory for anyone, and asked the Sangh to advise Bharatiya Janata Party [ Images ] leaders to exercise restraint.
"I agree with the statement that RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat made after the Ayodhya verdict," he told reporters. "I think Bhagwat should advise both L K Advani [ Images ] and Ravi Shanker Prasad not to make statements that could fan communal passions."
The Congress leader said the country had moved far ahead of the days of the masjid-temple dispute and added that people wanted peace above all. Leaders like Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav [ Images ] had issued statements on the Ayodhya verdict hoping to please the Muslims but "this has not happened."© Copyright 2012 PTI.
