Shahi Jama Masjid is situated in Kot East of Sadar Kotwali area. As soon as it became known that the survey was being conducted in Jama Masjid, there was a stir there. People of Muslim community reached near the mosque, but during this time a large number of police forces were deployed. People were removed from there. Sambhal MP Ziaur Rahman Burke said that we respect the court’s decision. Thousands of people wanted to gather near Jama Masjid, but we stopped them. At least seven days’ notice should have been given. It was heard today itself and the survey was ordered today itself.
