Hashim Ansari, one of the main litigants in the Ayodhya title suits, who has been working for a negotiated settlement of the issue, on Thursday lashed out at people trying to take the matter to the Supreme Court saying they were playing politics over it.
"Those trying to take the issue to the Supreme Court are playing politics over the issue and I do not approve of it", ninety-year-old Ansari told newspersons in Ayodhya.
Stressing that he would keep up his efforts for resolving the issue through dialogue, Ansari said peace and unity of the country are of prime importance and he would continue to adhere to his "peace policy".
To a question on certain people raising objections to his peace moves, Ansari said without elaborating that they would have to join him in his efforts in 10 to 15 days' time.
