Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that there will be a dispute if disputed Gyanvapi complex is called a mosque.
In an interview to the news agency ANI, the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister said "If we call it a mosque, there will be a dispute. I feel whoever has been blessed with sight by God, that person should see. What is a trishul (trident) doing inside a mosque. We did not put it there. There is a jyotirlinga, dev pratimas (idols)," he said.
CM Yogi added that there has been a "historical mistake" by the Muslim side, and thus, they should step forward for its resolution.
"The walls (of the Gyanvapi) are screaming and saying something. I feel there should be a proposal from the Muslim society that there has been a historical mistake and we need a solution," the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister said in a part of the podcast with ANI's Smita Prakash.
