Why court ordered Sambhal mosque survey when plea prayed for right to access, asks Asaduddin Owaisi

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has said if the petition over a Mughal-era mosque at Sambhal in Uttar Pradesh had prayed for the right to access, then why a court there ordered a survey of the structure. On November 19, 2024 a court of civil judge of Sambhal passed an ex-parte order for a survey of the Shahi Jama Masjid by an advocate commissioner, after taking note of a plea of the Hindu side claiming the mosque was built by Mughal emperor Babur in 1526 after demolishing a temple. Talking to reporters in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar on Sunday over the Sambhal incident, Mr. Owaisi said, "If we read the petition, we find the prayer in it is right to access. Asked about claims over the shrine in Ajmer, Mr. Owaisi said the dargah exists for 800 years and Amir Khusro had also mentioned about it dargah in his book.
