New Delhi: A day after a Varanasi court Thursday ordered an archaeological survey of the Kashi Vishwanath temple and the Gyanvapi mosque premises to resolve a long-standing dispute involving the two shrines, the BJP welcomed the move pointing out it has faith in the judicial process while opposition parties responded in a guarded manner. Prominent Muslim leaders though, said they would file an appeal in high court.
