Former IPS officer Kishore Kunal,who was posted as Officer on Special Duty (OSD) in the Ayodhya Cell in the past,has stated that Ayodhya issue can be solved amicably. Kunal,whose book on Ayodhya issue is likely to hit the stands in a few months,said,There is a way to have an amicable solution to the issue,without hurting the sentiments of both the sides. Kunal was addressing media persons in the state capital on Saturday.

He further said things would have been different if the disputed structure had been declared as a protected monument.

However,he said the verdict should be announced this month only and everyone should respect it.

According to Kunal,who served on the Cell during the tenure of former PMs including VP Singh,Chandra Shekhar and P V Narasimha Rao,the court has suggested that the parties counsels should be asked to give their opinion through affidavits.

He said,On April 26 this year,the Court had suggested PN Mishra,the counsel for one of the defendants in the case,that parties counsels should be asked to give their opinion through affidavit.

Govindacharya was in the state capital on Saturday to mark the birth anniversary of Deen Dayal Upadhyaya.

Talking to media persons,Govindacharya said the will of the people should be taken into account. No court can determine whether Ram was born at this site or not. All the cases on Ayodhya do not address the core issue and the dispute of Ram Janmabhoomi is not a civil suit but a civilisation issue, said Govindacharya. He added,matters related to faith are indeterminable.
