The two-day meet, inaugurated by RSS Sangh Chalak KS Sudarshan by lighting a traditional lamp at Vivekanandapuram here, the southern tip of the country, is also slated to discuss other topics such as current Indo-Pak peace initiatives.

About 260 participants including the RSS central office bearers and representatives of the parivar outfits such as VHP top brass Ashok Singhal and Pravin Togadia are attending the conclave. The BJP is represented by former party president Kushabhau Thakre.

Top RSS sources indicated that the meet was likely to come out with a resolution on Ayodhya on Saturday evening.

Other issues to prominently figure in the meet would include the Marad carnage, which left nine persons dead in a fishing hamlet near Kozhikode in Kerala, sources said.

AFP adds: India's main Muslim body will on Sunday discuss a Hindu seer's proposals to solve an explosive religious dispute about the ruins of an ancient mosque in the northern town of Ayodhya.
