Sarnath, January 19 – Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama, who has been advocating a dialogue process between Hindus and Muslims for a lasting truce over the Ayodhya issue, today said he could not offer a formula towards that end.
Talking to newspersons at a Tibetan educational centre in Sarnath, the Nobel laureate expressed hope for a solution to the vexed Ayodhya issue, saying it would be resolved in the time to come.
In Varanasi on a four-day visit, the Dalai Lama said the Ayodhya issue had been politicised, and asked the leaders of both the communities to end hostilities and come to the table for talks.
He also eulogised the ancient culture and tradition of India and referred to the golden virtues of humanity, brotherhood, tolerance and non-violence in the life stream of the people.
”I am pained to see bloodshed and violence in this country. That is why I feel that communalism should be uprooted from here and issues like Ayodhya be settled through pragmatism,” he observed.
