New Delhi: Politicians have started reacting to the Hindu side's victory in the Gyanvapi case with leaders of the ruling BJP hailing the Varanasi court's decision.
BJP leader Subramanian Swamy who was also a litigant in the Ram Janmabhoomi case told CNN-News18 that "special temples have to be vacated & rebuilt because they were deliberately demolished by the Aurangzeb & Muhammad Ghori."
"I think Muslim community should be cooperative like they were in Ram Janmabhoomi case. All that the Hindus have to show is, there was Temple which was demolished and a Masjid was built on it," he added.
Meanwhile, Union minister Giriraj Singh tweeted "Lord Shiva is the truth."
Madhya Pradesh CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan and UP Deputy CM KP Maurya also hailed the court's decision to allow hearing of the Hindu side's plea.

The Gyanvapi case
In 1991, a plea was filed in a court in which the petitioners and local priests sought permission to worship in the Gyanvapi Mosque complex in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh.
The structure was built by Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in 1699. It is located adjacent to the Kashi Vishwanath temple.
Over the years, several petitions have been filed claiming that the mosque was built by demolishing parts of the Kashi Vishwanath temple.
