- BJP West Bengal replied on X with “Correction: Adinath Temple,” reasserting the party’s claim that the mosque stands on a former Hindu temple site.
- Social media users circulated images of carvings they say show Hindu motifs, presenting these as proof of earlier temple elements within the complex.
- Coverage noted scholarly references to reused Pāla–Sena era materials at the site, while ASI descriptions list it as a mosque and do not confirm temple demolition.
