BJP asks workers, spokespersons to exercise restraint on Ayodhya verdict

NEW DELHI: Ahead of the expected Supreme Court verdict on the Ayodhya case, the BJP on Monday asked its party workers and spokespersons to restrain from making emotive and provocative statements on the Ram temple issue.
The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh had issued a similar word of caution to its cadre a few days ago.
At a meeting of the party's spokespersons, media and social media departments from across the country, BJP's central leadership told them to avoid making unnecessary statements on the Ram temple issue, sources aware of the deliberations said.
BJP social media head Amit Malviya also briefed social media teams of the party on how to prevent controversial statements on such platforms, they said.
The Sangh's top brass in its recent meeting of 'pracharaks' had told them not to celebrate or carry out processions if Ram temple judgment comes in its favour.
A five-judge Constitution bench led by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi reserved its judgment in the Ayodhya land dispute case on October 16 after a marathon 40-day daily hearing. The verdict is expected before Justice Gogoi retires on November 17.
