Facts should be allowed to come out: RSS on Gyanvapi mosque issue

Amid the ongoing debate over a ‘Shivling’ allegedly found in the Gyanvapi mosque during a court-mandated videography survey in Varanasi, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has said the facts related to the issue should be allowed to come to the fore while asserting that truth can’t be hidden for long.
RSS publicity in-charge Sunil Ambekar made this statement on the Gyanvapi masjid issue while addressing an annual event organised by Indraprastha Vishwa Samvad Kendra, the RSS’ dialogue cell, in New Delhi on Wednesday to honour journalists.
While addressing the programme, Ambekar said, “There are some facts about Gyanvapi which are coming out in the open. I believe we should let the facts come out in the open. In any case the truth always finds a way to come out. How long can you hide it?”
He further added, “I believe that the time has come to put the historical facts in the right perspective before the society.”
This statement made by the RSS top official is extremely significant amid the ongoing Kashi Vishwanath temple-Gyanvapi mosque dispute.
As the Supreme Court judgement came in November 2019 over the Ayodhya dispute, while responding to a question asked about similar disputes in Mathura and Kashi, RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat had said the Sangh was associated with the Ramjanmabhoomi movement due to historical reasons and it was only as an exception.
At that time, Bhagwat had said the RSS would now work for human development.
Addressing the same RSS event held on Wednesday, Union Minister Sanjeev Balyan also echoed similar views on the Gyanvapi issue.
Expressing his sentiments associated with the Gyanvapi issue, Balyan said he was in Varanasi when all these events (related to Gyanvapi) unfolded.
“When I got information about a Shivling being found in the mosque, I got emotional and my eyes were filled with tears when I came to know that Nandi (a sacred ox on which Lord Shiva rides) had been waiting for Lord Shiva for many centuries,” the Union Minister added.

India-Pakistan cricket match: BJP government should clarify its policy: Uddhav Thackeray

Mumbai: Mumbai Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray targeted BJP after the India-Pakistan cricket match and said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) only pretends to be patriotic and this has now become clear. What would have happened if the cricket match was not played with Pakistan? On one hand, after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Pakistan was declared an enemy country and a delegation was sent against it at the international level. Pakistan’s misdeeds were put forward there, but what message will go at the international level if cricket is played with Pakistan. Pakistan carries out terrorist attacks against India and we play matches with it. The stand that the country had made clear against Pakistan after the Pahalgam attack should be maintained, but the BJP wants to sing praises of Amit Shah and Jai Shah. Delegations from across the country say that Pakistan carried out a terrorist attack on India and now a match is being played with it. Is this right? Uddhav Thackeray also raised questions on the foreign policy regarding Pakistan and said that on one hand we call Pakistan a terrorist country and on the other hand we play cricket with it. We narrate the misdeeds of Pakistan during our foreign trips. So what message will go to these countries that on one hand India calls Pakistan a terrorist and on the other hand maintains relations with it. So why would any country support India against Pakistan? Therefore, it is important to decide whether Pakistan is an enemy or a friend. If we end relations with Pakistan, we can convince other countries to do the same. But what message will go when we talk against Pakistan and play cricket with it? That is why I call the Bharatiya Janata Party a fake Janata Party.
