'Unfortunate' to refer to Gyanvapi as mosque: CM Adityanath
Yogi Adityanath on Saturday said it is «unfortunate» to refer to Gyanvapi as a mosque and called Gyanvapi an «embodiment of Lord Vishwanath himself».
Adityanath made these remarks while inaugurating an international seminar on «Contribution of Nath Panth in Building a Harmonious Society» at the Deen Dayal Upadhyay Gorakhpur University, where he also highlighted the spiritual significance of Kashi and the revered site of Gyanvapi.
«It is unfortunate that some people refer to Gyanvapi as a mosque while it is the embodiment of Lord Vishwanath himself,» he said, and also made a detailed reference to legendary sage Adi Shankar, narrating an anecdote about his «encounter» with Lord Vishwanath in Kashi.
The Gyanvapi issue has been at the centre of a long-drawn legal battle with the Hindu side arguing that the Gyanvapi mosque was allegedly built on the remains of a pre-existing temple, while the Muslim side has contested the claim.
The Samajwadi Party (SP) targeted the chief minister over his remark even as the BJP and some saints of Ayodhya rallied around in his support.
