Congress tends to move away from pro-Hindu stance: Hardik Patel

Image
A day after dumping Congress, Patidar leader Hardik Patel trained his guns on the party, saying that its tendency to distance itself from pro-Hindu developments was hurting the party. His comments came amid the ongoing  Gyanvapi Masjid controversy . “There are many Mahadev devotees in India. If a  Shivling  is recovered from a Masjid or some other place, it should connect our faiths. We should openly welcome this. But our [Congress] leaders tend to move away from decisions in favour of Hindus. This is hurting Congress,” Patel said. Patel resigned from Congress on May 18. He took to Twitter to announce his decision and shared an image of his resignation letter. In his letter, he had alleged that the Congress's senior leadership were more focussed on ensuring that a chicken sandwich for leaders who have come from Delhi is delivered on time.

Gyanvapi Mosque Row Updates: SC to Hear Case Today at 3 PM Today; Heard Survey Report 'Leaked', Don't Know How It Happened, Say Police

Image
Gyanvapi Mosque Row Updates: The Hindu parties have told the Supreme Court that Gynavapi mosque in Varanasi is not a mosque, as Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb “did not pass any order to create a waqf over the land in question or for handing over land to any Muslim or body of Muslims”. The respondents’ response, filed through advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain, said: “The historians have confirmed that Islamic ruler Aurangzeb had issued an order on April 9, 1669 directing his administration to demolish the temple of Lord Adi Visheshwar at Varanasi. There is nothing on record to establish that the then ruler or any subsequent ruler has passed any order to create a waqf over the land in question or for handing over the land to any Muslim or body of Muslims. The copy of farmaan/order issued by Aurangzeb is reported to be maintained by Asiatic Library Kolkata.” The response argued that a mosque can be constructed over the property dedicated by waqif, who should be the owner of the property and a constr...
