Shafiqur Rehman Barq said Hindus and Muslims should ensure that such propaganda is stopped as every mosque is now being seen with suspicion Sambhal: Samajwadi Party MP Shafiqur Rehman Barq on Thursday said the claimed discovery of a Shivling in Varanasi’s Gyanvapi mosque complex was false propaganda and urged Opposition parties to counter it. The local MP said Hindus and Muslims should ensure that such propaganda is stopped as every mosque is now being seen with suspicion. Earlier this week, Hindu lawyers had claimed that a structure found in the `wazookhana’ reservoir at the mosque during a court-ordered survey was a Shivling. The mosque committee members disputed the claim, saying the structure was part of the fountain mechanism at the wazookhana, where people perform ritual ablutions before offering namaz.
