Arguments Presented In the District Court
Temple Argument Presented
The Hindu side claimed that this masjid portion is a part of the Kashi Vishwanath Temple. There was a Shiv linga established in that part of the temple. There was also a Ram Katha Mandap located and the western gate of the temple was referred to as the Shingar Mandap. In this Shingar Mandap, some symbols like Lotus and Swastik are also found which belong to Hindu Culture. These are the reasons why the survey team wants to enter Gyanvapi Complex and take a video proof.
Masjid Argument Presented
The Masjid Management committee (Anjuman Intezamiya Masajid) claims that Hindu Idols were not located in his Masjid. The Hindu idols were located outside the western wall of the Gyanvapi Complex area.
