After Varanasi district court ruling last week allowing puja in ‘Vyas ji Ka Tehkhana’ inside the Gyanvapi mosque premises in Varanasi, a plea was filed on Monday, February 5 in the same court seeking an ASI survey of all other closed basements in the complex. The Ayodhya Ram Temple Trust meanwhile has asked the Muslim side to respect Hindu wishes and hand over the disputed sites at Varanasi and Mathura and end the centuries-old differences.
