Jagannath Mishra meets Advani

NEW DELHI, JUNE 18. Former Bihar Chief Minister and senior NCP leader, Mr. Jagannath Mishra, today met the Union Home Minister, Mr. L.K. Advani, and told him that a negotiated settlement was the only way out to resolve the Ram temple issue.

Mr. Mishra submitted a four-page memorandum to Mr. Advani in which he suggested resumption of talks to find a solution. All the constituents of the NDA Government should declare that the construction of the temple at Ayodhya be kept in abeyance till the conclusion of the talks, he said.

He also suggested that in case the two sides failed to reach a settlement, the disputed site should neither have a temple nor a mosque to prove that India was truly secular.
