We note with grave concern the emergence of an explosive situation in our country arising from the developments in Ayodhya. We can no longer be silent spectators to the destruction of the secular values which have sustained us as a Nation. We wish to emphasise the paramount importance of adhering to democratic and constitutional norms, and appeal to all to rise above the tide of hatred and violence.
