Interest of the Varanasi tourists change after Gyanvapi Masjid Row | ABP News

The presence of a Shivling within the mosque complex, which is close to the famous Kashi Vishwanath temple, revived the mandir-masjid argument. Asaduddin Owaisi, the leader of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), claimed he was around 19 or 20 years old when the Babri Masjid was "snatched from us," and that the community will not allow this to happen to anyone his age now. Keshav Prasad Maurya, Uttar Pradesh's deputy chief minister, expressed delight at the news.
