India Today
The Varanasi court began hearing on the plea filed by the Muslim party over the maintainability of the Gyanvapi-Shringar Gauri complex case.
A Varanasi court commenced hearing on Thursday on the maintainability of the Gyanvapi-Shringar Gauri complex case. The Masjid committee argued that the rumours about an alleged ‘shivling’ found inside the mosque has caused public disturbance.
The plea was filed by the Muslim party challenging the maintainability of the suit filed by the Hindu parties seeking claim on the Gyanvapi complex.
The Masjid committee raised concerns that the “existence of shivling is only alleged and not yet proven.”
"Rumours are resulting in public disturbance which should not be allowed until existence is proven," the Masjid committee told the Varanasi court on Thursday.
