VARANASI: Advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain, the counsel for the Hindu side, stated that the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has made a "conclusive finding" and stated that there existed a large Hindu Temple prior to construction of the existing structure, a day after the Varanasi district court ruled that the ASI survey report on the Gyanvapi mosque complex will be given to litigants on both sides. According to the ASI, a sizable Hindu temple predated the building of the current building. This is the ASI's definitive conclusion, Vishnu Shankar Jain told the local media. He noted that according to the ASI, several inscriptions on both the pre-existing and present structure were discovered during the survey. "The current survey resulted in the recording of 34 inscriptions and the taking of 32 stamped pages. In actuality, these are inscriptions that were previously present on a Hindu temple's stone that were utilised again throughout the building and restoration of the current building. They have inscriptions written in Telugu, Kannada, Grantha, and Devanagari scripts. The repurposing of older inscriptions within the structure implies that the previous structures were demolished and their components were used for the building and restoration of the current structure. These inscriptions contain three names of deities, including Janardana, Rudra, and Umeshwara," the counsel stated. Vishnu Shankar Jain provided further information, stating that the ASI has stated that the pillars and plasters utilised in the current building were examined methodically and scientifically in order to build Sahan and expand the mosque. "Plasters and pillars from earlier temples were repurposed with minimal alterations. A close examination of the plasters and pillars in the corridors reveals that they were originally a part of an earlier Hindu temple, which was dismantled to make room for them in the current building. The Vyala figures that were carved on either side of the lotus medallion were also dismantled, and floral patterns were added to the area once the corners' stone mass was removed. Two comparable plasters that are still in their original locations on the north and south walls of the western chamber attest to this observation. "In response to a court's directive, the ASI surveyed the Gyanvapi grounds to ascertain whether the mosque was built over an earlier Hindu temple structure. Last month, the ASI sent its survey results in a sealed cover to the district court.

At the "Nav Matadata Sammelan," which was organised by Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) to commemorate National Voters' Day today and virtually addressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Minister engaged with first-time voters, the majority of whom were Class 12 and first-year college students. Prior to 2014, Dr. Jitendra Singh stated that there was a general sense of pessimism in the nation and that the average person had lost trust in the establishment.In addition, the kids lacked self-worth and harboured no optimism for the future. The minister claimed that young people were searching for chances abroad and that India was not well-regarded by the international community. Dr. Jitendra Singh stated that everything has changed since Prime Minister Narendra Modi entered the national arena as a result of the meticulous and persistent work done over the past ten years by Mr. Modi. He was happy that India's youth now command a very high stature for their talent and that the country is highly regarded on the international scene. The Union Minister continued, "They hold prominent positions in the majority of international organisations, and India is regarded as one of the world's front-runners." According to him, Prime Minister Modi has become the tallest leader in the world. According to Dr Jitendra Singh, India has surpassed the United Kingdom to become the fifth-biggest economy, having previously ranked as the tenth largest. India's economy is predicted to grow to become the fourth largest in the world this year. The Minister stated that India's accomplishments in the space industry demonstrate the country's rapid growth rate, citing the Chandrayaan Mission and an indigenously created coronavirus vaccine as two examples of the nation's noteworthy successes. Speaking with a sizable group of newly registered voters, Dr. Jitendra Singh stated that this is one of the greatest periods in history for young people. As a result, they ought to take advantage of all available opportunities. With the state-of-the-art technology available, the young should exploit it as they should have a feeling of pride having been dubbed the architects of India in 2027, the Minister exhorted the audience. They have an obligation to both the country and themselves, according to Dr. Jitendra Singh, to get ready for the realisation of the aim of a developed India by 2047. The Union Minister claimed that by giving young people opportunities for self-employment, the government had levelled the playing field.The kids now have a supportive environment in which they may transition from being job searchers to employment suppliers. Speaking about the StartUp movement, Dr. Jitendra Singh stated that with the creation of more than 1.25 lakh StartUps, India has ascended to the third position in the world. He added that around 3,000 young people from Jammu and Kashmir are now making good money thanks to the Aroma Mission.
