PRAYAGRAJ: Anjuman Intezamia Masajid (AIM), which manages Gyanvapi mosque, accused the Uttar Pradesh govt on Wednesday of having a nexus with the Hindu parties in Gyanvapi cases.
Appearing before Justice Rohit Ranjan Agarwal, AIM advocate SFA Naqvi questioned the presence of the state advocate general in the courtroom when govt was yet to be impleaded as a party to the matter.

According to him, any order could well be communicated to the state govt by the standing counsel present in court.

Earlier, during the course of hearing, the court suggested that since the state was a proper party to the suit, it should be impleaded as a party to the matter.

The court also asked the state govt if it had stopped the plaintiff (Hindu side) in 1993 from worshipping Hindu deities inside the southern cellar of the complex, known as Vyasji Ka Tehkhana. To this, advocate general Ajay Kumar Misra sought time to obtain instructions. However, due to time constraints, arguments could not be concluded and Justice Agarwal posted the matter for further hearing on Feb 12.
