AGRA: The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has directed its workers across the nation not to take out processions or give any reactions on the Ayodhya verdict , irrespective of the judgement.

VHP senior leaders have been asked to instruct their workers to spread the message across the nation by organizing meetings at regional levels. The VHP office bearers in the region have been directed to “restrict” celebrations to their home and temples only, if the judgement comes in the favour of the Ram Temple. In case, it is against, then, they have been directed, to give no reaction or raise provocative slogans to give a chance to others to vitiate the atmosphere.

Confirming this, International Joint general secretary of VHP, SK Jain, said that the purpose of the exercise is to maintain communal harmony in the country. “We all have to ensure that no incident should occur that can create fissures between the two communities,” said Jain, adding that everyone should accept the decision with full humility and honour.

Braj region vice president of the organisation, Sunil Parashar, said that they have also been directed to keep a tab on people, who could create a violence by wearing “bhagwa” clothes or carrying flags, to defame the government. He said, during the meeting, the senior leaders directed all local office bearers to inform the administration, if any mischievous activity is noticed around their respective cities.

Earlier, a similar exercise was done by Muslim clerics in various districts of Uttar Pradesh . They have appealed to the community members to maintain peace and harmony irrespective of the outcome of the judgement.

Even Aligarh Muslim University vice chancellor, Prof Tariq Mansoor and teachers’ association have appealed to all the sections of the society not to give any statement or indulge in rumour mongering related to Ayodhya verdict. They have also appealed to the society not celebrate or resent the Ayodhya verdict, as it could hurt the sentiments of either of the communities involved in the dispute.
