Four persons have jointly moved a petition in a Mathura court on behalf of Bhagwan Keshavdev (Lord Krishna) to claim the Sri Krishna Janmabhumi Trust’s right to the 13.37 acres of land where a temple and a mosque stand, a place identified by Hindutva entities as the birthplace of Lord Krishna.
Two advocates Mahendra Pratap Singh and Rajendra Maheshwari and two Hindutva organisations the United Hindu Front and the Dharm Raksha Sangh claimed in their petition before the court of the senior civil judge on Wednesday.
that the Sri Krishna Janmasthan Sewa Sangh, the management committee of the Krishna Janmasthan temple in Mathura, and the Intezamia Committee of the adjoining Shahi Idgah Masjid had illegally entered into an agreement on October 12, 1968, to coexist.
