After deciding not to file a review petition after the Supreme Court scrapped its petition on Ayodhya title suit, the Nirmohi Akhara has sought time from Prime Minister Narendra Modi to meet him to convince the government to include the Akhara in the proposed trust to oversee Ram temple construction.
A letter written by Mahant Dinendra Das of Nirmohi Akhara to the Prime Minister was handed over to Ayodhya District Magistrate Anuj Kumar Jha in Lucknow on Monday by Akhara’s spokesperson Prabhat Singh.
A copy of the letter was also e-mailed to the Prime Minister’s office for getting an audience.
In the letter, the Akhara leader said that a five-member delegation would meet the Prime Minister.
The Akhara’s chief seers and executive body members met in Lucknow on Sunday and decided to meet the Prime Minister.
Prabhat Singh said that the Akhara would not only ask for a seat in the proposed trust but also important position in the management, like secretary or president. The Akhara has also sought the right to worship the deity.
“Another meeting will be held after the meeting with the Prime Minister and then our future plan will be decided,” he said.
In its executive committee meeting, the Nirmohi Akhara had decided not to file a review petition against the Supreme Court verdict on Ayodhya, in which its petition was dismissed.
The Nirmohi Akhara was one of the main plaintiff in the Ram Janmabhoomi case.
In its order, the Supreme Court has asked the Centre to grant representation in the Trust to Nirmohi Akhara, whose suit was dismissed.
