Yoga guru to meet Ansari, Gyan Das

AYODHYA: Amid efforts to arrive at an out-of-court settlement of the vexed Ramjanmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute, yoga guru Baba Ramdev is likely to meet Hashim Ansari, a plaintiff in Ayodhya title suits, and Hanuman Garhi chief Mahant Gyan Das soon.

"Baba is eager to meet Ansari and Mahant Gyan Das. He is impressed by the peace process initiated by them to resolve the Ayodhya issue," said Jaideep Arya, a disciple of the guru.

"If anyone approaches him and extends his support for a negotiated settlement of the Ayodhya issue, I will welcome him warmly," Ansari told PTI.

Baba Ramdev will arrive in Ayodhya on November 18 to particiate in a three-day yoga camp beginning the next day in Faizabad.

He is likely to meet Gyan Das and Ansari who have launched efforts to arrive at a negotiated settlement of the contentious issue in the aftermath of the Allahabad High Court verdict on the title suits.
