Before handing over temples to the Hindu society, VHP functionary Milind Parande calls for removal of 'all non-Hindus employed in temples and endowment departments'.
The very fact that the temples that were targeted included the ones at places like Mathura and Varanasi point to a motive that transcends mere politics and suggests an element of religious fervour.
Supreme Court in 2019 made it a legal and constitutional duty of the government to protect places of worship in India. But courts in Mathura and Varanasi have taken a different path.
For local residents and annual visitors, Mathura’s Janmashtami is unmissable. But it’s the shopkeepers who are most elated about the ‘mad rush’ as businesses pick up after Covid.
This is one of the first official reactions of BJP on Gyanvapi issue even though individual leaders have been going public with their responses, seeking a relook at provisions of Places of Worship Act, 1991.
With the inauguration of Kashi Vishwanath Dham by PM Modi in Varanasi, BJP’s ‘Kashi project’ is almost complete, and so is the invisibilisation of Gyanvapi mosque.
SC said in 2019 Ayodhya verdict that status of no other place of worship will be allowed to change. Yet, civil judge has ordered ASI to find if mosque is built over temple.
