Citing the survey report of Gyanvapi complex in Varanasi, lawyer Vishnu Shankar Jain has said that the structure of the mosque has been erected over the temple. There was a temple here before the existing structure. The ASI report said that Om, Lotus and Trishul are carved on the structure.
On the orders of the court, the Hindu side’s lawyer Vishnu Shankar Jain received the survey report of ASI on Thursday and then also addressed the media. Answering media questions, he said that inscriptions in Tamil, Telugu and another South Indian language have been found. All these rock inscriptions are apart from the rock inscriptions found in Sanskrit language. The western wall of the complex dates back to the reign of Vikramaditya 5000 years ago. ASI survey has also revealed that there are idols of Shivalinga, Damru, Trishul and gods and goddesses on the walls of the premises. There are some places in the walls in which Shivalingas are installed. According to lawyer Vishnu Jain, the evidence of the report presented by ASI in front of the court screams that there was a temple there. Which was demolished and a mosque was built.
In a special program of Legally-Speaking with Hindi news channel India News, lawyer Vishnu Jain’s father and senior advocate Harishankar Jain said that the ASI report has proved that there was a temple there and there is a temple. But now the Muslim side will present its arguments and arguments against the ASI report, we, the Hindu side, will present our arguments. We will prove the ASI report correct. And in the end the Hindu side will win.
Earlier, Vishnu Shankar Jain also showed the copy of ASI’s scientific survey obtained through the court to the media in Varanasi. In the 7th point of this report, pre-existing structure, among other things it is clearly written that, ‘…it can be said that before the existing structure, the structure of a big Hindu temple was present there.
The ASI report also said that this big Hindu temple had a central chamber and one chamber each in four directions. Of these, the chambers in the north, south and west directions still exist. The rest could not be physically searched because stone flooring had been done over it. The ASI report states that during the scientific survey, the investigation team found 34 inscriptions. Which is in Devanagari, Telugu, Kannada and Grantha languages. Names like Janardan, Rudra, Umeshwara and Maha Muktimandap are carved on the walls of these chambers.
The ASI survey report, which was conducted after a battle ranging from the District Court to the Supreme Court, runs into a total of 839 pages. The gist of this report is that there was a temple here which was demolished on the orders of Aurangzeb and a mosque was built. And the broken parts of the temple were also used to build a mosque.
Apart from this report, some historians and litterateurs say that the Muslim rulers did not build any single mosque but built mosques by demolishing more than 30 thousand temples and parts of the temples were used so that Hindus would feel embarrassed after seeing them. May their courage be broken. Hindus should lose faith in their religion and become Muslims.
However, after the arrival of ASI’s scientific report, the court battle of Gyanvapi seems to be reaching a more serious turn.
