CPI-M not for out of court settlement on Ayodhya

CPI(M) today virtually rejected the Supreme Court suggestion for out-of-court settlement of Ayodhya land dispute saying it was a matter of law and not a matter of political settlement.
The Supreme Court cannot absolve itself of the responsibility of adjudicating the matter of land dispute. However, "if it is possible for a settlement...It is good", CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury told reporters here today.
Taking dig at Congress, Yechury said it was unfortunate that once again Congress party was vacillating on the issue. It was this vacillation that allowed the demolition of the Babri Masjid in 1992 when P V Narasimha Rao was the Prime Minister, he said.

The matter went to court because the issue could not be settled out of court. The supreme court has to adjudicated title ownership of 2.77 acres of land. "It is matter of law and not a matter for political settlement", he said.
Attacking the UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Yechury said vigilant groups of RSS in the name of cow protection was vandalising and terrosing the minority community.
In the name of cow protection and cracking down of illegal slaughter houses, the meat shops, meat retail outlets and all slaughter houses are being targeted, Yechury alleged.

With regard to the resolution passed by RSS in its Coimbatore on the alleged attack on RSS by CPI-M cadres in the state, Yechury said 'it is a clear case of pot calling the kettle black'.

Nine CPI(M) activists had been killed by RSS-BJP workers since May last, he said.
With regard to West Bengal, Yechury said that a serious situation of communal polarisation was happening in that state.
CPI-M leader also took exception to Centre bringing the Finance Bill for consideration in the Rajya Saba today after taking private members bill.
"Normally no government business used to be taken up after private members bill", he said.
On the performance of LDF government in Kerala, Yechury said it was moving in the right direction. "We will fulfil the promises made during the election period," he said.

"There is a government a the Centre which is antagonising the state", he said.
