"VHP Calls for Transfer of Gyanvapi Structure to Hindus, Citing ASI Report"
The Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) is demanding that Hindus be permitted to worship in a disputed area known as the "Wazukhana" within the premises of the Gyanvapi Mosque in Varanasi, India. This demand follows a report by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) suggesting that the mosque was built upon the remains of a Hindu temple. The VHP's international working president, Alok Kumar, stated that the Muslim community should relocate the mosque to another suitable location and hand over the original site to Hindus for the construction of a temple.
Kumar also referenced Section 4 of the Places of Worship Act, 1991, suggesting that the structure should be legally declared a Hindu temple. He emphasized that the ASI findings affirm that the mosque was constructed after demolishing a grand temple. The ASI report concluded that prior to the mosque's construction, there indeed existed a Hindu temple based on various scientific studies, architectural remnants, inscriptions, and artifacts.
In essence, the VHP is advocating for Hindus to have access to worship in the disputed area within the mosque premises, while also asserting that the mosque was built upon the ruins of a Hindu temple. They propose relocating the mosque and restoring the original site to Hindu control based on historical and archaeological evidence provided by the ASI report.
