At the ‘Saint Mirabai Janmotsav’ program, PM Modi highlighted the unique connection between Braj and Gujarat, expressing that Mathura’s Kanha became Dwarkadheesh after moving to Gujarat. He emphasized the integral role of Saint Mirabai in the region, stating, “Saint Mira Bai, who came to Mathura from Rajasthan, spent her last moments in Dwarka. Saint Mira’s worship is incomplete without Vrindavan.” PM Modi expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to witness ‘Braj,’ emphasizing that only those called by ‘Shri Krishna and Shriji’ have the privilege of visiting.

The Prime Minister acknowledged India’s tradition of worshipping women, citing Sant Meera Bai as an exemplary figure who not only assumed responsibilities but also guided society. PM Modi released a commemorative stamp and coin in honor of Mirabai, initiating a series of year-long programs dedicated to her memory. The event featured a cultural program, a 5-minute documentary on Mirabai, and a dance drama presented by Mathura MP Hema Malini.

Mirabai, renowned for her unwavering devotion to Lord Krishna, composed numerous hymns and verses that continue to resonate today. The occasion was attended by prominent dignitaries, including UP Governor Anandiben Patel, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, and both Deputy Chief Ministers.

Security in Mathura was tight, with the city divided into eight zones and 32 sectors. The road from the Army Helipad to Lord Krishna’s birthplace was adorned with colorful lights to welcome the Prime Minister. Stringent security measures, including barricading and snipers deployed on rooftops, were implemented to ensure the smooth passage of PM Modi’s convoy.

During his visit, PM Modi issued a postal stamp on Mirabai and a coin with a denomination of Rs 525. The Brajraj festival venue had seating arrangements for 5,000 people. The grand welcome extended to PM Modi reflected the significance of the occasion and the respect accorded to the Prime Minister’s visit to the birthplace of Lord Krishna after a gap of 32 years.

First of all, let’s talk about the controversy in Varanasi’s Gnanavapi Masjid. The whole matter is currently in the court, while the other party demanded the removal of the commissioner, but the court has given a new date for the survey inside the mosque. However, the court gave a blow to the other side while delivering an important verdict and refused to remove Advocate Commissioner Ajay Kumar Mishra, who was appointed in the Gnanavapi Masjid survey. Along with this, the court has also ordered Vishal Kumar Singh and Ajay Singh to be made court commissioners in addition to court commissioner Ajay Mishra. Both or either of these will be present during the survey operation.

Also, the court has ordered to complete the survey of Gnanavapi Masjid before May 17. The court has ordered to submit the report on May 17. At the same time, the court also said that legal action will be taken against those who will try to create obstruction in government work.

Anjuman Intjamia Masazid Committee petitioned the court to remove the commissioner. After three days of arguments, the court reserved its verdict.

The court ordered the survey in the Gnanawapi Masjid on a petition filed by 5 women. In which he sought the right to daily worship at Sringar Gauri, after which the court appointed an advocate commissioner. But during the survey there was an uproar in Gyanwapi Masjid and the entire survey work was stopped. Since then the whole matter was in court. The court ordered to complete the survey before May 17.

Krishnajanmabhoomi controversy

When the Ram Janmabhoomi dispute was resolved, now the Krishna Janmabhoomi dispute has come up. The Allahabad High Court gave an important judgment in the case of Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi in Mathura. The High Court directed the Mathura court to dispose of all the petitions within 4 months. Also, the High Court has directed to issue a unilateral order on the non-participation of the Sunni Waqf Board and other parties in the hearing. It is important that the High Court pronounced this decision on the application of Manish Yadav. Looking at the whole controversy…

The Taj Mahal Controversy

The court also gave an important verdict on the petition made regarding the demand to open 22 rooms of the Taj Mahal. The Lucknow High Court rejected a plea seeking opening of 22 rooms of the Taj Mahal. The court also scolded the petitioner and said that you should come after reciting history first. Do PhD then come to us.

When the Mughals came to India, they came with a policy of propagating the Muslim religion. It is a reality that they destroy Hindu culture, temples and build mosques. But whether the Taj Mahal is also built on any such religious site is a matter of inquiry.
