No members of the Anjuman Intezamia Masajid Committee are taking the poll. Joint secretary SM Yasin of the committee declared, “We have disregarded the ASI survey. We weren’t there (at the Gyanvapi mosque) for the ASI survey, and neither was our advocate. We’re not taking part in it.Five women who had previously requested permission to pray at the “Shringar Gauri Sthal” inside the shrine complex submitted the petition in May. On May 16 of last year, a building that was allegedly a “Shivling” by the Hindu side and a “fountain” by the Muslim side was discovered during a court-ordered inspection of the mosque close to the Kashi Vishwanath temple.
