After Ayodhya and Varanasi, preparations on for temple in Mathura, tweets UP deputy CM Maurya

The Hindu  

Keshav Prasad Maurya, Deputy Chief Minister of poll-bound Uttar Pradesh, on Wednesday in a two-line tweet called for the construction of a temple in Mathura at a time when right-wing groups are demanding the removal of a Mughal-era mosque located adjacent to the Krishna temple in the city. Though Mr. Maurya did not spell it out, his tweet in Hindi had an uncanny semblance to the slogan “ yeh toh sirf jhanki hain, Kashi Mathura baki hai ” raised by the right-wing groups and BJP leaders following the demolition of the Babri Masjid. His pinned tweet, which triggered a political storm on social media, carried hashtags of “Jai Shri Ram,” “Jai Shiv Shambhu” and “Jai Radhe Krishna.” While the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya is under construction after the Supreme Court awarded the land where the Babri Masjid stood till December 1992 to the Hindu parties, Prime Minister Narendra Modi later this month is expected to inaugurate the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor in his Lok Sabha constituency Varanasi. The lower court had in April directed the ASI to find out whether the Gyanvapi mosque was a “superimposition, alteration or addition or there is structural overlapping of any kind, with or over, any other religious structure.” Recently, at least two right-wing groups including Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha had threatened to carry out a padyatra and install an idol of Lord Krishna inside the Shahi Idgah Mosque in Mathura on December 6. Last year, a civil court in Mathura dismissed a suit seeking the removal of the Shahi Idgah Masjid adjacent to the Katra Keshav Dev Temple in Mathura, observing that if each and every devotee of Lord Krishna was allowed to institute such suits, it would jeopardize the judicial and social system of the country.
