The Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) has called for the transfer of the historical structure to the Hindu community. The demand comes on the heels of an Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) report that the VHP claims supports its stance on the contested site.
The Gyanvapi Mosque, located in [city], has been a subject of contention between Hindus and Muslims for decades. The VHP, a prominent Hindu organization, is now citing the ASI report as a crucial piece of evidence in their push for the handover of the site to the Hindu community.
The ASI, which conducted an extensive study of the Gyanvapi Mosque and its surroundings, is said to have unearthed evidence suggesting the presence of a Hindu temple beneath the existing structure. The report, according to the VHP, supports their long-standing claim that the mosque was built on the ruins of a demolished temple.
VHP spokesperson [Spokesperson Name] stated, “The ASI report is a testament to the historical significance of the Gyanvapi site for Hindus. We urge the Muslim side to respect the findings and consider the sentiments of the majority community. Handing over the structure would not only promote religious harmony but also uphold the principles of justice and coexistence.”
The Gyanvapi Mosque dispute has been a source of tension and legal battles for years, with both communities presenting historical and archaeological evidence to support their claims. The call for the transfer of the structure by the VHP adds a new dimension to the ongoing legal proceedings and negotiations surrounding the site.
Muslim leaders and organizations are yet to officially respond to the VHP’s request. However, it is expected that the ASI report will be thoroughly scrutinized and debated in legal and academic circles before any decision is reached.
The Gyanvapi Mosque dispute is not only a matter of religious significance but also has broader implications for the preservation of historical heritage and the delicate balance of communal relations in the region.
As the debate intensifies, it remains to be seen how the involved parties, legal authorities, and the public respond to the VHP’s call for the handover of the Gyanvapi structure based on the ASI report.
