Mulayam should work for settlement of Ram temple issue: Uma Bharti

Says Yadav should initiate steps for an out-of-court settlement with mutual consent of both the parties

Union Minister Uma Bharti, a key leader of the Ram Temple Movement, has said Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav should sit with both parties and find a solution to the Ayodhya temple issue.

Replying to queries here last night, she said Yadav should initiate steps for an out-of-court settlement with mutual consent of both the parties.

"There is Samajwadi Party government in Uttar Pradesh. SP head and Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav's father Mulayam Singh Yadav should sit with both the parties and initiate steps to find a solution to the temple construction issue with mutual consent, outside the court," she said.

Bharti is among the accused in the Babri Masjid demolition case.
