We should let the facts come out in the open: RSS on Gyanvapi Mosque row

As the Vishwanath temple-Gyanvapi row is gaining momentum, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has emphasized that the facts should be allowed to come out.

RSS publicity in-charge Sunil Ambekar while speaking at an annual event in New Delhi organized by the organization to honor journalists, commented on the mosque-temple issue. 

"There are some facts which are coming out in the open. I believe we should let the facts come out in the open. In any case, truth always finds a way to come out. How long can you hide it? I believe the time has come to put the historical facts in the right perspective before the society," Sunil Ambekar said.

Similar views were expressed by Union Minister Sanjeev Balyan who was also present at the event, said that he became emotional after learning that a Shivling was found in the mosque complex.

"I was in Varanasi when these events unfolded. I became emotional. But I became more overwhelmed when a journalist told me that Nandi (a sacred bull on which Lord Shiva rides) had been waiting for Shiva for centuries. My eyes welled up. That is why journalism is so important. It can make people emotional," Sanjeev Balyan said.
