New Delhi:
Congress today welcomed the Ayodhya judgment saying everyone should accept it and no one should treat it as a victory or defeat.
"Congress has held that the controversy should either be solved through talks or the verdict of the court should be accepted. The court has given the verdict. We should all welcome the judgment," party general secretary Janardhan Dwivedi.
Dwivedi said that if any person or organisation has any reservation, doors of the Supreme Court are open for them.
"Nothing should be done to disturb peace and harmony of the society. It is the responsibility of every political party and individual...", he said.
The Congress leader said that the verdict should not be seen as victory or defeat of anybody and no one should do anything that would affect harmony. "It is not proper in any way."
Asked about bursting of crackers by VHP in Lucknow, he said there are civilised ways of expressing happiness. "No one should show extreme emotions in the wake of the verdict".
"Lord Ram was equanimous in all conditions, bad and good and Ram
bhakts should learn from him that he was not jubilant at the time of his coronation nor was he remorseful when he had to go to forest (
vanvas)."
Striking a philosophical note, he said there are moments in the life of individuals, society and nation, when one's wisdom and patience are put on test.
