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.
