Varanasi: Muslim women linked to Muslim Mahila Foundation hail Gyanvapi verdict

VARANASI: Muslim women associated with the Muslim Mahila Foundation (MMF) here have hailed the district court verdict in Shringar Gauri-Gyanvapi case on Monday. The court rejected the plea of Anjuman Intezjamia Masajid, the mosque management committee, against maintainability of the case.
Soon after the ruling of the court, the Muslim women led by MMF president Nazneen Ansari performed aarti of Lord Shiva with the chant of 'Om Namah Shivay'' and sang in his praise to celebrate the occasion at Subhash Bhavan in Lamahi village of the district.
Nazneen said that the Muslim women have been with the truth from the very beginning in the Gyanvapi case and want to wipe off the stigma of Aurangzeb from Kashi Vishwanath temple. "When our ancestors were Hindus, they used to worship Adi Vishweshwar," said Nazneen, questioning, "How can a Mughal invader Aurangzeb capture Adi Vishweshwar?"
She said that no Muslim should carry the sin of the Mughals. There are thousands of proofs that the temple was demolished. "The Hindu is a great tolerant community of the world, so it is taking the support of the court to free its holiest place from the sins of Aurangzeb. We all respect the court's decision", she said.
