Truth can’t be hidden, tweets UP deputy CM

PRAYAGRAJ: Soon after a petitioner’s lawyer claimed that a ‘shivling’ was found in the ablution pond of the Gyanvapi complex during the survey on Monday, UP deputy chief minister Keshav Prasad Maurya reacted by saying that the development had a “mythological” message.
“Buddh Purnima ke awsar par Gyanvapi mein Baba Mahadev ke prakatikaran ne desh ki Sanatan Hindu parampara ko ek pauranik sandesh diya hai (Appearance of Lord Shiv at Gyanvapi on Buddh Purnima has given a mythological message of Sanatan Hindu tradition of the country),” he tweeted.
In another post, tweeted with a hashtag #GyanvapiTruthNow, he wrote: "Satya ko aap kitna bhi chhupa lijiye lekin ek din saamne aa hi jaata hai, kyon ki ‘Satya hi Shiv hai’. Baba ki Jai. Har Har Mahadev. (Truth can’t be hidden, no matter how hard you try. Because truth only is Shiv).”
In a video message, VHP international working president Alok Kumar said the “existence of a shivling” on the Gyanvapi mosque premises was “self-evident” that a temple was there and hoped that “everyone” in the country will “accept and honour this proof”. “It's a very good news. The ‘Shivling’ has been found in the presence of both parties and their lawyers. The finding of ‘Shivling’ is self-evident. It has been proved that the place, where the ‘Shivling’ has been found, is a temple today and was a temple in 1947 also,” the VHP leader said.
The Vishwa Vedic Sanatan Sangh (VVSS), which is backing the five petitioners in the case, said it was high time a Shiv temple was constructed. “Now we can’t wait for another 50 years. A grand temple of Baba Vishwanath would be constructed above the Lord Vishweshwar Shivlinga in the Gyanvapi complex,” said VVSS lawyer Jitendra Singh Bisen.
