Inquiry into Ram Setu affidavit will take time: Soni
New
Delhi,
Sep
27:
Tourism
and
Culture
Minister
Ambika
Soni
today
said
it
would
take
some
time
for
the
completion
of
the
ongoing
administrative
inquiry
into
the
Ram
Sethu
affidavit
fiasco.
'We
don't
want
to
be
in
haste,''
said
Ms
Soni,
who
was
in
the
thick
of
the
controversy
over
the
counter-affidavit
filed
before
the
Supreme
Court
by
the
Archaeological
Survey
of
India
questioning
the
existence
of
Lord
Rama
or
Ram
Sethu.
Ms Soni was speaking on the fringes of a function to mark ' World Tourism Day'.
She said all concerned would have to be given an opportunity to put forward their version with regard to how such a mistake crept into the affidavit, which had since been withdrawn by the government in context of the controversy.
