A Varanasi court on Monday held that a petition filed by five Hindu women seeking permission to perform daily worship of Hindu deities located on an outer wall of the Gyanvapi mosque was maintainable and it would go ahead with the hearing of the case.
UP Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya said, “I welcome the order of the honourable Varanasi court in the Maa Shringar Gauri Mandir case and appeal everyone to respect the decision.”
