Ayodhya dispute: Nirmohi Akhara breaks ties with Vishwa Hindu Parishad

AYODHYA: Breaking its 21-year-old ties with Vishwa Hindu Parishad, since 1989, Nirmohi Akhara, the main Hindu party in the Ayodhya case, has rejected any VHP claim over the Ram Janmabhoomi.

Nirmohi Akhara, the oldest litigant from the Hindu side in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid title suit, now sub-judice before the Supreme Court, has alleged that Vishwa Hindu Parishad is trying to overpower the site of janmabhoomi.

Rejecting VHP's stand as `fast friend' of Ram Lalla, chief priest of the Akhara, Mahant Jagannath Das said, "VHP does not have any claim over Ram Janmabhoomi. It just created communal riots and disturbed the peaceful atmosphere of country. It is responsible for whatever has happened in its so called Ram temple movement'."
