MP Court Rules Bhojshala as Temple, Leaders Celebrate Justice

The Madhya Pradesh High Court’s declaration of the Dhar Bhojshala complex as a temple has been met with widespread acclaim from Hindu stalwarts. Sadhvi Ritambhara, the revered Padma Bhushan recipient, celebrated the verdict in an IANS interview: 'Victory for truth! Sanatan society, rejoice – Bhojshala is reclaimed.' Visiting the premises, she asserted, would convince anyone of its inherent temple character. The saint predicted the swift return of Devi Saraswati’s murti for installation, fulfilling long-standing aspirations. This comes after years of legal battles over the site's dual claims. Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti, a Union Minister, described the era of subjugation when marauders occupied holy places, praising the court’s 'delightful' decision. She lauded the judiciary’s role in awakening national self-respect and anticipated governmental adherence to reinstall Saraswati. Pandit Ramswaroop Maharaj pointed to the site's eloquent stones bearing timeless Sanskrit verses, fully endorsing the judgment with court appreciation. VHP leader Alok Kumar detailed the thorough judicial process: ASI evidence distribution, hearings, and judicial inspection culminated in affirming the site's temple nature. Post-verdict, Hindus gain perpetual puja access, a historic gain. Kumar highlighted the court's equity, directing Muslims to request government land for their namaz needs. This balanced approach underscores judicial wisdom in sensitive disputes. As celebrations unfold, the decision revives Bhojshala’s legacy as a center of Vedic learning under King Bhoj, potentially paving the way for similar resolutions elsewhere and strengthening cultural resurgence.
