Reuter adds: Indian police today arrested more than 3,000 Hindu devotees threat-
ening to march to Ayodhya.
Authorities in Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh state where Ayodhya is located, said 234 people were arrested near the site of the temple and 2,855 tn the nearby town of Faizahad
Paramilitary police have guarded the site since ejecting the Hindu militants on December 8. Entry is banned.
The devotees had planned to offer prayers at the shrine.
The Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) said the marches were part of continuing pressure on the government to allow public worship there. The BJP supported the campaign to replace the Ayodhya mosque with a temple, but disclaims responsibility for the storming of the shrine.
PTI says, the BJP today reaffirmed that It did not believe In India becoming a 'theocratic state', saying the Ayodhya incident was a reaction to a grave historical wrong and it was not intended to hurt the sentiments of anyone.
The party's political resolu-
tion adopted at the conclusion of the tA'o-day national executive underlined the party's commitment and conviction about equal opportunities and equal rights to all citizens.
The national executive described as 'anti-democratic and lawless' the measures adopted by the ruling Congress(I) and said 'we will face this onslaught with courage and conviction.'
AFP from Delhi adds: Prime Minister Rao's ruling Congress(I) party approved Thursday a mass action plan to fight communalism.
The plan, approved by the party's policy-making working committee after deliberations lasting about 11 hours, is chiefly aimed at mobilising the party's student and youth wings in the campaign aimed primarily at Hindu fundamentalism.
Under the action plan, beginning Monday the ruling party will sponsor mass rallies, conferences, seminars and symposia, involving all major sectors of society.
It is also to include house-to-house visits by Congress(I)
