Togadia wants Kanchi seer's proposals made public

By Our Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD June 23. The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) general secretary, Praveen Togadia, today appeared to have softened his line on the initiative by the Kanchi Sankaracharya, Sri Jayendra Saraswathi, to resolve the Ayodhya row.

Addressing presspersons here, he said the VHP was not questioning the Sankaracharya's locus standi but only demanding that his proposals be made public. Describing the Kanchi seer as `my Sankaracharya', he said the nation had a right to know details of the proposed accord.

Ayodhya, he said, was not a personal matter but involved the faith of the entire Hindu community.

PTI reports from New Delhi:

Senior VHP vice president, Acharya Giriraj Kishore, said today that the organisation stood for an honourable settlement of the Ayodhya issue, asserting that it would not accept any solution that would hurt the sentiments of Hindus.

He, however, asked the Sankaracharya to come out with details of his formula.
