Mathura:A hearing on the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi - Shahi Idgah Mosque issue will be conducted by the court of Civil Judge (Senior Division), Mathura, on July 1. A petition was recently filed to conduct a video survey of Mathura mosque on the lines of the one done in Varanasi's Gyanvapi mosque. The plea seeks to determine whether "Hindu artifacts and ancient religious inscriptions" exist inside mosque premises or not.
The application, filed by the Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha, had also demanded that everyone be allowed to offer 'puja' inside the Shahi Idgah Mosque. The latest, in a series of pleas of the aforementioned nature, arrived on Wednesday as Dinesh Kaushik, Treasurer of the Mahasabha, sought permission from the court to perform the inauguration and worship of Laddu Gopal, a child-like form of Hindu deity Krishna.
