Talks only solution: Advani

NEW DELHI AUG. 1 . The Deputy Prime Minister, L.K. Advani, today said a dialogue between the Hindu and Muslim communities could be the possible solution to the Ayodhya problem.

In an interview to Zee News, the Deputy Prime Minister said the problem would continue even if a court verdict came in favour of a temple. He expressed optimism over the dialogue process that had been initiated during the past eight months, saying the mood in both communities was for settling the issue once and for all.

Coming down heavily on the opposition parties for being "opportunistic" on the Ayodhya issue, Mr. Advani charged them with making "Hindutva" and communalism election issues every time.

Asked whether "Hindutva" would be made an issue in the coming elections, Mr. Advani said, "there have been no elections in which `Hindutva' has not been made an issue."
