LUCKNOW, MARCH 11. There is no change in the Vishwa Hindu Parishad's programme of performing ``symbolic puja'' of carved stones in Ayodhya on March 15, its leader, Ashok Singhal, said today. Mr. Singhal, who arrived here on his way to Ayodhya, told newspersons at the airport that at no point of time had his organisation agreed to abide by the court verdict in this regard. And there was no mention of any ``commitment'' on the part of the VHP to accept the court verdict on ``puja'' in the formula proposed by the Kanchi Sankaracharya, Jayendra Saraswati, to initiate negotiations with Muslim organisations, he claimed. Driving straight from the airport to Raj Bhavan to meet the Governor, Vishnu Kant Shastri, Mr. Singhal spent an hour with him. He left for Ayodhya with Mr. Shastri's permission, the Principal Secretary (Home), Naresh Dayal, said. The administration continued to enforce restrictions on the entry of visitors to the pilgrim town. Mr. Dayal confirmed that the authorities in 18 districts around Faizabad had been directed to set up temporary jails to lodge ``Ramsevaks'' who could be arrested while proceeding to Ayodhya.
