SC asked parties to resolve matter with dialogue: The SC in its last hearing had asked various parties to sit together and resolve the issue amicably.  The move was thereafter welcomed by various parties including BJP, Congress and even by Muslim groups. Swamy urges Muslim groups: A day after SC hearing on the matter, Swamy urged the Muslim groups to accept his proposal of forming Ram temple on the disputed land, and constructing a mosque on the other side of the river Saryu. Swamy said, “Muslim should accept my proposal for a masjid across Saryu. Or else in 2018 on getting the RS majority we will enact a law to build temple”.
