The Hindu party in the Gyanvapi dispute has petitioned the Supreme Court for an in-depth Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) examination in the 'wazukhana' area, seeking to clarify the nature of the 'Shivling'. Advocating the ASI's freedom to conduct a comprehensive survey without harming the religious artifact, the plea also calls for excavation and scientific analysis of the entire sealed area. Recent revelations from an ASI survey report suggest the existence of a Hindu temple beneath the Gyanvapi mosque. The plea underscores the importance of ASI's expertise in establishing factual evidence amidst ongoing religious and historical controversies.
