Hindus allowed to worship in Gyanvapi mosque basement by Varanasi court
A Varanasi court has allowed the Hindu devotees to worship inside the 'Vyas Ka Tekhana', a sealed area inside Gyanvapi mosque. The court has asked district administration to make the necessary arragments in the next 7 days. The directive came days after Hindu side claimed that the mosque was built after razing a temple.
The Archaeological Survey of India last week said that “there existed a Hindu temple prior to the construction of the existing structure” at the site.
Hindu litigants have claimed that the mosque was built on the site of the original Kashi Vishwanath temple after its destruction in the 17th century.
Counsel Vishnu Shankar Jain, representing the Hindu side, said, "Hindu side allowed to offer prayers at 'Vyas Ka Tekhana'. The District Administration will have to make arrangements within 7 days. Everyone will now have the right to perform puja".
The Hindu side now claims that the photographs and ASI's latest report, spanning 839 pages, provide irrefutable evidence that the Gyanvapi mosque was built atop the ruins of a pre-existing Hindu temple.
It has been stated that photos show 'Shivling'and broken deity statues.
Documents 'as claimed by Hindu side' claim fragmented statues of Hindu deities and inscriptions in Persian suggest in crystal clear manner that the Gyanvapi mosque was constructed atop the ruins of a Hindu temple.
Those tacking the developments say in most of these cases - the lower courts in various stages have seemingly backed the idea that these structures were Hindu temples once.
In other words, either the court's observations have given legitimacy to Hindu claims and at times the court orders puts things on move which ultimately led to even bigger tragedies like demotion of Babri Masjid in Ayodhya in 1992.
According to Justice S U Khan, who was one of three Allahabad High Court judges that delivered the historic 2010 (Sept 30) verdict, ironically it was the order of a district court in Uttar Pradesh in 1986 that “triggered a chain reaction leading to the demolition” of the Babri Masjid in 1992. His reference was to the 'unlocking' of the Mosque premises during the tenure of Rajiv Gandhi as the Prime Minister.
Hindus pitch 'Naari Shakti' :::: Laxmi Devi, Sita Sahu, Manju Vyas and Rekha Pathak file petition ::::::::A big debate on cards on Places of Worship Act
“The core question involved in the matter is whether the object found by advocate commissioner on May 16, 2022, is Shivlingam or a fountain, which can be proved only on the basis of a scientific investigation," four women Laxmi Devi, Sita Sahu, Manju Vyas and Rekha Pathak plea in the new petition.
"It is submitted that ASI is the premier authority which can conduct scientific survey of the entire sealed area including Shivlingam to establish the truth in the matter,” stated the pleas filed jointly.
Since ASI conducted a scientific survey of the entire area under the July 2023 orders of the district judge, the applications argued, the same agency ought to be directed to carry out a survey of the sealed area and the “Shivlingam” to ascertain whether it is a fountain or not.
The application, filed through advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain, alleged that the spot where the Shivling ostensibly existed was surrounded by raising artificial walls that are modern and unconnected with the original building so as to conceal the original religious character of the structure.
“It is further submitted that the area has no religious significance for Muslims as according to them there is an alleged fountain. It is relevant to mention that the said modern construction has been purposefully done to hide the original features associated with the Shivlingam such as peeth, pithika, etc,” said the applications.

"An election speech": Opposition criticises President Murmu's speech while BJP defends
The Prime Minister on Wednesday, Jan 31, hailed the Budget session as a ‘festival of women power’.
Terming the beginning of the Budget session as a “festival of women power”, he stated the obvious but did so with his Moditva signature style -- that while Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present the Interim Budget 2024-25. President Murmu made the customary address to the Joint Sitting of Parliament.
“In a way, this is a festival of women power,” Modi said.
“When election time is near, the full budget is generally not kept. Following the same tradition, we will also present the full budget before you after the formation of the government. This time, the country’s finance minister Nirmala ji is going to present her budget in front of all of us tomorrow with some guiding words.”
