Gyanvapi case: Petitioner alleges mispropaganda, seeks Prez approval for euthanasia
Deccan ChronicleVaranasi: Rakhi Singh, the main petitioner seeking the right to daily worship inside the Gyanvapi Masjid in Varanasi, has written to President Draupadi Murmu, stating that her fellow four petitioners in the case and their advocates spread false propaganda against her, and that she is "considering euthanasia" due to that mental pressure. Along with four Hindu women petitioners, Singh had filed the case in the court of the civil judge, Varanasi in August 2021, seeking the right to daily worship at Maa Shringar Gauri Sthal inside the Gyanvapi mosque complex. "In the case, my associates, including Lakshmi Devi, Sita Sahu, Manju Vyas, Rekha Pathak, along with advocate Harishankar Jain, his son advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain and their few colleagues, did a false propaganda and defamed me and my uncle and aunt Jitendra Singh Visen and Kiran Singh in May 2022," Rakhi Singh alleged in the letter. On May 23, the Varanasi district court ordered that all seven cases of the same nature related to the Shringar Gauri-Gyanvapi case be consolidated and heard together, with Shringar Gauri-Gyanvapi case as the leading case.
