The Prime Minister's Office on Wednesday night rejected Vishwa Hindu Parishad president Ashok Singhal's claim that the government had assured him that the acquired land in Ayodhya would be handed over to his organisation for construction of Ram Temple.
"The Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee has not given any such assurance to Singhal," a PMO spokesman said.
Singhal had claimed at a news conference in Ayodhya that the prime minister had assured him that the central government would give VHP all the land, except the 80 feet by 40 feet area on which the disputed structure had existed before its demolition on December six, 1992.
