Advani met with His Holiness Sankaracharya Jayendra Saraswati of Kanchipuram and urged him to pursue the initiative taken by him to help reach an agreement among concerned parties regarding Ayodhya. The Sankaracharya had earlier held discussions with leaders from both the Muslim and Hindu communities, but without results. The Deputy Prime Minister, attending the golden jubilee celebrations on the ascension to the Peedam of the Kanchi Kamakoti Mutt by the Sankaracharya said, “I believe that an agreement among the communities will be more enduring” as there was a possibility of some people challenging court orders.
