Why Are BJP, RSS Targeting Mosques and Dargahs: Owaisi

All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen MP Asaduddin Owaisi targeted the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh following the recent controversy regarding Ajmer Sharif Dargah in Rajasthan.Earlier, a Rajasthan court accepted a petition submitted by the Hindu Sena claiming Ajmer Sharif Dargah to be Lord Shiva's temple.Speaking to ANI over the same, Owaisi highlighted the history of the dargah and said that previous Prime Ministers from Jawaharlal Nehru have sent "chadars" to the dargah. All this is being done on the directions of BJP-RSS," Owaisi said.Congress MP Imran Masood said earlier that PM Modi should look into the matter related to Ajmer Sharif Dargah and the Supreme Court must take cognizance.He accused the Union government of sidelining the Places of Worship Act and expressed his concerns over such incidents, saying that such things would set the whole country on fire. Jab aag lagti hai to sabke ghar lagti hai," Imran Masood said.Syed Naseruddin Chishty, Chairman of the All India Sufi Sajjadanashin Council, said earlier that Rajasthan's Ajmer court has ordered the issuance of notices to three parties, including the Dargah Committee, the Archaeological Survey of India, and the Ministry of Minority Affairs, in response to a petition claiming there is a Shiva temple inside Ajmer Dargah. In 2022, Mohan Bhagwat had said that how long will we keep finding Shivalayas in mosques, and I agree with him," he said.Earlier this month, a survey team that arrived at the Shahi Jama Masjid to survey the mosque in Sambhal district in Uttar Pradesh amid heavy police deployment faced stone-pelting from some "anti-social elements".This survey was part of a legal process following a petition filed by senior advocate Vishnu Shanker Jain, who claimed the mosque was originally a temple.
