Anjum Intezamia Masjid Commitee, the trust which looks after the management of Varanasi-based Gyanvapi mosque, should agree to ‘respectfully’ shift the Gyanvapi mosque to another appropriate place and to hand over the original site of ‘Kashi Vishvanatha’ to the Hindu Society, said the international working president of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) Alok Kumar.
“The ASI, an official and expert body, has submitted its report to the District Judge hearing the Gyanvapi matter in Varanasi. The evidence collected by the ASI from the Gyanvapi structure reconfirms that the mosque had been constructed after demolishing a magnificent temple,” added chief of VHP, which also remained at the forefront of the Ram Janambhoomi movement that demanded the Ram temple construction in Ayodhya.
Mr. Kumar added that the Shivlinga in the Wazukhana leaves no doubt that the structure does not have the character of a mosque. The discovery of the names including the Janardana, Rudra and Umeswara in the inscriptions found in the structure are the tell-tale evidence of this being a temple.
