So let us tell you that the Hindu side claims about the Gyanpawi Masjid that it contains relics related to Hindus. Not only this, Hindu parties also claim that the temple was located here in the past. There is a Jyotirginya below the Gyanpavi temple. Not only this, the idol of gods and goddesses was installed in the temple, which was destroyed by Aurangzeb in the year 1664 and got the mosque built. After which a public petition was filed in the year 2020 to remove the mosque and establish a temple here. Now after taking cognizance of this matter, the High Court has taken the said decision. In such a situation, it has to be seen that what decision is taken on this later.
Looking through the prism of history, this episode had reached the year 1991, when there was a demand to worship Hindu deities in the Gyanpawi Mosque, but a few months later, citing the Place of Worship Act, the Masjid Committee challenged it in the High Court. But in 1993, the Allahabad High Court, after taking cognizance of this matter, had directed to keep the status quo on it. After which there was a hearing in the Supreme Court on this entire matter and still the hearing on this entire issue is going on. Now in such a situation, all eyes are on this thing as to what decision is taken on this.
