Gyanvapi: 'Special temples were deliberately demolished,' says Subramanian Swamy as leaders react to Hindu side's win

New Delhi: Politicians have started reacting to the Hindu side's victory in the Gyanvapi case with leaders of the ruling BJP hailing the Varanasi court’s decision.

BJP leader Subramanian Swamy who was also a litigant in the Ram Janmabhoomi case told CNN-News18 that “special temples have to be vacated & rebuilt because they were deliberately demolished by the Aurangzeb & Muhammad Ghori.”

The Gyanvapi case

In 1991, a plea was filed in a court in which the petitioners and local priests sought permission to worship in the Gyanvapi Mosque complex in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh.

The structure was built by Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in 1699. It is located adjacent to the Kashi Vishwanath temple.

Over the years, several petitions have been filed claiming that the mosque was built by demolishing parts of the Kashi Vishwanath temple.
