The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) on Saturday claimed the Archeological Survey of India (ASI) report has "reconfirmed" that the Gyanvapi mosque in Varanasi was constructed after demolishing a temple and demanded that the structure to be handed over to the Hindu community.
It also demanded that Hindus be permitted to offer "sewa puja" to the 'Shivlinga' found in the "so-called Wazukhana area" at the disputed site.
