Yogi Adityanath, Subramanian Swamy to discuss Ram Temple issue, unofficially

Swamy told reporters that he and Adityanath would discuss Ram temple in an unofficial meeting.

Lucknow, April 4: Senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Subramanian Swamy is all set to meet newly-elected Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in Lucknow on Tuesday.

Talking to media persons, Swamy informed that in an 'unofficial' meeting, the two BJP leaders were going to discuss the Ram temple issue.

"It is an informal visit. He is known to me and his guru was very closely known to me. We both are partners in Hindutva. When he was here he had hardly any time so he told me to come to Lucknow and we will have meeting. I will certainly discuss Ram temple but this is an unofficial meeting," Swamy told ANI.

Earlier, Adityanath said the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute should be resolved through dialogue between the two parties. "As the government is not party to it, the two parties in contention should have a dialogue and resolve the matter. If any help of the state government is needed we are ready to provide it," Adityanath said. He added, "We would request both the sides to re-establish dialogue and resolve the matter."

Last week, the Supreme Court refused to give early hearing to the Ram Temple-Babri Masjid case after litigants objected to Swamy's role in the case.

As the matter came up before the apex court, it said, ''We didn't know that you (Swamy) are a party to case." The apex court also asked Swamy to explain what is his locus standi in the case? We don't have time to hear you now, the top court said.

The firebrand BJP leader, who had filed the petition, had pleaded before the top court to hear the case on a day-to-day basis and pass an order favouring the immediate construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya.

The apex court had earlier described Ram temple as a 'sensitive and sentimental' issue and called for an amicable settlement of the dispute by all concerned parties.
