'Mathura, Kashi should also be freed, revived as Ayodhya'

Raising the issue of Vishwanath and Krishna Janmabhoomi temples, BJP leader Jaibhan Singh Pawaiya has said that these two places of worship for Hindus should also be freed and revived.

Gwalior: Gwalior: BJP leader Jaibhan Singh Pawaiya has said that after the settlement of the issue of Ram Temple in Ayodhya, temples of Mathura and Kashi should also be freed, since mosques exist next to them.

In Varanasi, the Vishwanath temple shares a boundary wall with the Gyanvapi mosque, while the Shahi Idgah mosque stands next to the Krishna Janmabhoomi temple in Mathura.

Interacting with media persons here, the former MP said that Hindus of the country have pain in their hearts as the two temples were 'insulted' during the 17th century by the then Mughal rulers.
