Varanasi: The Wednesday hearing in the Gyanvapi mosque case may get deferred as lawyers are on strike protesting against a letter issued by the Uttar Pradesh government.
Varanasi Bar Association member Anand Mishra said it has been decided to observe strike after a letter was issued by the special secretary in which an objectionable word was used. Reports said that a counsel of the Hindu side has written a letter to the bar association requesting that the hearing should be allowed in the Gyanvapi case.
