<p>The Allahabad High Court’s decision to allow an ASI assessment on the grounds of the Gyanvapi mosque was welcomed by the Uttar Pradesh BJP, who said the study will reveal the truth. ASI (Archeological Survey of India) reports that the survey will begin tomorrow.</p>
<p>Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary, the state head of the BJP, said in a Hindi tweet that this is a matter involving the religion of millions of people.<img decoding=”async” class=”alignnone wp-image-109465″ src=”https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/theindiaprint.com-download-2023-08-03t182217.389.jpg” alt=”” width=”1193″ height=”668″ srcset=”https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/theindiaprint.com-download-2023-08-03t182217.389.jpg 300w, https://www.theindiaprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/theindiaprint.com-download-2023-08-03t182217.389-150×84.jpg 150w” sizes=”(max-width: 1193px) 100vw, 1193px” /></p>
<p>The Allahabad High Court earlier today denied a plea by the Gyanvapi committee that contested a district court’s order for the Archaeological study of India (ASI) to study the mosque’s grounds to determine if it was built on a temple.</p>
<p>The district court’s ruling is fair and proper, and this court is not required to intervene, the court held.</p>
<p>In response to the court’s directive, Chaudhary said, “We applaud the Hon’ble High Court’s ruling on the Gyanvapi problem. Everyone have to work together and accept the court’s ruling. The survey will reveal the reality.</p>
<p>Everything that is directly portrayed in Gyanvapi is historical fact and concerns the religion of millions of people. Everyone ought to comprehend and embrace Gyanvapi’s historical truth, he added.</p>
<p>On the other side, Keshav Prasad Maurya, the deputy chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, said: “I appreciate this decision. After the ASI survey and the Gyanvapi matter are handled, I am convinced that the truth will be revealed.</p>
<p>The Varanasi high court dismissed the Anjuman Intezamia Masjid committee’s appeal, stating that there is no reason to doubt the ASI’s guarantee that the survey won’t harm the edifice. The ASI oversees the Gyanvapi mosque, which is close to the Kashi Vishwanath temple.</p>
<p>It said that no digging should be done as part of the survey at the mosque.</p>
<p>Maulana Khalid Rasheed Farangi Mahali, a member of AIMPLB, commented on the court ruling, saying: “We are hoping that justice will be done since this mosque is around 600 years old and Muslims have been performing namaz there for the previous 600 years. We also support the Places of Worship Act’s application to all places of worship throughout the nation. The Muslim side will consider petitioning the SC to challenge this ruling.</p>
<p>The survey will not include the mosque’s “wazukhana,” which is where a building that Hindu petitioners believe to be a “shivling” is located. This is because the Supreme Court already protected that area of the compound.</p>
<p>Hindu activists assert that a temple formerly stood where the mosque is now but was destroyed in the 17th century by Mughal ruler Aurangzeb.</p>
