Gyanvapi Mosque

This comes after the ASI submitted its report as sought by the High Court, which rebuked the ASI in April this year for its laxity in submitting its report on the feasibility of carbon dating the Shivling found inside the mosque.

Justice Arvind Kumar Mishra -I has now extended the last date for submitting the desired report to April 17, 2023.

In October last year, Bangladeshi author Taslima Nasreen said that Prophet Mohammed had himself destroyed 360 idols of pre-Islamic Arab Gods at Kaaba.

Advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain spoke to OpIndia on various issues including Uniform Civil Code, Population Control and Hindu Rashtra.

On May 17 this year, the Supreme Court of India ordered that the Shivling found inside the Gyanvapi mosque should be protected.

The Varanasi district court reserved its order in the petition demanding a scientific study of the Shivling found in the Gyanvapi complex.

The Varanasi district court earlier had asked the Gyanvapi mosque management to file its objections to the plea for carbon dating of Shivling

PFI President Oma Salam called upon the Anjuman Islamia Masjid Committee to protect the disputed Gyanvapi mosque from being reclaimed by Hindus.

The Varanasi District court has ordered that the plea filed by the Hindu side seeking right to worship at Shringar Gauri Sthal inside the disputed structure is maintainable.

The Hindu side will seek an ASI survey, carbon dating of Shivling if Varanasi court delivers verdict in their favour.
