Gyanvapi dispute | Locals insist 'ganga-jamuni' culture must not erode
The Hindu
"The matter is between Hindu-Muslim brothers of Banaras and there is no need to make it national issue," a Varanasi resident said
With the ongoing Gyanvapi mosque-Kashi Vishwanath temple dispute case in the Supreme Court, leaders from both religions voice different opinions, yet want the “Ganga-Jamuni tehzeeb” of Kashi to stay intact.
Hearing the matter on Thursday, the Supreme Court said it would wait for the Varanasi district judge's decision on the objections of the Gyanvapi Mosque Committee regarding the admissibility of a civil suit filed by Hindu devotees.
The top court had on May 20 transferred the civil suit filed by Hindu devotees regarding the Gyanvapi Mosque from a senior civil judge to the Varanasi district judge.
Though the matter has obvious political underpinning with religious bodies differing on many points, they are united in their call for calm and keeping intact the original bonhomie of the city.
Former Mahant of Kashi Vishwanath Temple Kulpati Tiwari said that some people are deliberately dragging the Gyanvapi issue "from here to Delhi" just to gain popularity.
Mr. Tiwari said that when the matter is in the court at the district level, then one should wait for the decision of the court here.
"We are waiting for the district court's decision and if the verdict does not come in our favour, we will approach the High Court," he told PTI.
