"they must not view it as success or defeat, celebration or commemoration thus starting chains of vengeance and reaction," he said to a delegation from tamil nadu islamiya makkal iyyakkam, which met him to convey its appreciation to his efforts to find out a solution to the ayodhya issue.sri jayendra saraswathi said the new year must bring about a saga of mutual love and understanding in all matters. replying to a question of a reporter, the sanakaracharya said he was willing to negotiate to find out a solution to the temple issue provided the time was ripe. "time will ripen. we will wait for such a time when the mood and mind is restful and right for a negotiated peaceful settlement of issues," he said. politics and judiciary were different approaches to arrive at solution. "politics must be pure and not depend on votebank politics," he said. he regretted that vote bank politics had hijacked pure statesmanship and hence the setback to negotiations. </div> </div>
