Hopeful That Ram Temple Issue Will be Resolved Before 2019: Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Lucknow, Nov 15: Spiritual leader and Art of Living founder Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has said that he is hopeful that a conclusion will be reached in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute before 2019. Speaking to Zee News on Wednesday after meeting Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Sri Sri said that he is in touch with all parties over the Ayodhya matter and hopes to find a consensus soon. When asked by a reporter as to what formula is he going with, Sri Sri said, “Mediators don’t have any formula for talks.”

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar met Yogi Adityanath today and is also set to meet members of the Shia Waqf Board. He will then head to Ayodhya on Thursday to mediate between the two sides on the Ram Temple-Babri Masjid dispute. His move to mediate on the Ayodhya matter came after the Supreme Court suggested that an out-of-court settlement was the best recourse to the Ram Mandir-Babri Masjid dispute.
