Vishwa Hindu Parishad’s (VHP) international working president Alok Kumar has claimed that Shivling has been found during the survey at Gyanvapi Mosque in Varanasi. He said that it is a matter of happiness that Shivling was found in the presence of lawyers of both sides during the survey. So the place where the Shivling is, that temple, is still there and was in 1947 too, it has proved itself. I hope that on getting such evidence, now all the countrymen will accept it, respect it and the country will move towards its natural consequences.
He said that the matter is under consideration of the court, the court has ordered to seal that part. It is the responsibility of the police officers that there is no tampering there. We hope that this issue reaches to a result. Because the matter is still in court. It would not be appropriate to comment further on this. After the court’s decision, we will think about it further and then the VHP will be able to decide what will be the next steps.
Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya has also tweeted and said, “No matter how much you hide the truth, but one day it will come to the fore because Truth is Shiva. Baba ki Jai, Har Har Mahadev.”
As the third day of the court-ordered videography survey of the Kashi Vishwanath Temple-Gyanvapi Mosque complex in Varanasi concluded on Monday, the Hindu petitioner in the case, Sohan Lal Arya claimed that the committee found a Shivling at the complex.
Arya, who accompanied the court commission for the mosque survey, said that they have found “conclusive evidence”.
This comes a day ahead of the Supreme Court’s hearing on a plea seeking a stay on the survey of the Gyanvapi Mosque complex. A bench, headed by Justice DY Chandrachud, will hear the plea of the Anjuman Intezamia Masajid Committee tomorrow, May 17. The three days long survey, however, has been completed. The survey was conducted in accordance with the Varanasi Civil Court’s order to continue the survey despite objections from the mosque authorities.
After the conclusion of the survey, the Varanasi court ordered the District Magistrate of Varanasi, Kaushal Raj Sharma, “to seal the area where the Shivling was found and to bar people from going to the place.”
