Union Minister Meenakashi Lekhi on Monday urged AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi and former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti to maintain peace and brotherhood on the Gyanvapi mosque issue, hours after a civil court in Varanasi issued orders to seal premises after a shivling was found inside a well in Gyanvapi mosque during survey today.

"I want to say to them (Asaduddin Owaisi and Mehbooba Mufti) to maintain peace and brotherhood and also suggest them to read history again. The matter is in the court, they should not interfere and disturb the environment," Lekhi said to ANI on the Gyanvapi mosque issue.
