Gyanvapi mosque is Lord Vishwanath himself, says Adityanath
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday said that Gyanvapi, which some people “unfortunately” called a mosque, is, in fact, the Hindu deity Lord Vishwanath. “Gyanvapi, which some today unfortunately refer to as a mosque, is actually Vishwanath-Ji himself,” Mr. Adityanath said, while addressing the inaugural session of an international seminar on the ‘Contribution of Nathpanth in the creation of a harmonious society’ at Deendayal Upadhyay University in Gorakhpur. Describing Indian sages and saints as a force of unity in India, the Bharatiya Janata Party leader said that they had valued a harmonious and egalitarian society since ancient times. The tradition of saints never prioritised untouchability within society, and this is also the ethos of the Nathpanth,” Mr. Adityanath said.
