Swamy asks Hindus to 'wake up' over Ayodhya dispute

New Delhi, Nov 16 : BJP leader Subramanian Swamy on Thursday asked Hindus to "wake up" since Muslim leaders were "refusing to give up" on the mosque in the Ayodhya dispute.

"Hindus wake up! Muslims leaders are refusing to give up on a masjid, that is shiftable, to restore the holiest temple on the birthplace of Ram," Swamy said on Twitter.

Swamy's tweet came amid efforts by Art of Living founder Sri Sri Ravi Shankar to try to thrash out a mutually acceptable formula to the long-simmering Ayodha dispute.

Ravi Shankar on Wednesday met Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath here and discussed the Ayodhya dispute.

He briefed the Chief Minister about his initiative to try and work out a mutually acceptable formula.

Last month, Ravi Shankar had expressed his willingness to mediate in the Babri Masjid-Ram Mandir dispute.
