A survey of the Shahi Masjid was conducted in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh, which created an uproar. The mosque was claimed to be a temple. After this, the matter regarding the Dargah of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti in Ajmer district of Rajasthan has reached the court. On this matter, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi said, it is the legal duty of the courts to implement the 1991 Act. It is very regrettable that the law and the Constitution are being flouted to fulfill the agenda of Hindutva systems and Narendra Modi is watching silently.
Hearing was held on the petition filed in the court on Wednesday regarding the survey of Ajmer Dargah. In the petition, the Hindu side has described Ajmer Sharif Dargah as a Hindu temple. After this, the court has issued notice to all the parties and the next hearing will be on December 20.
What did Owaisi say?
Asaduddin Owaisi posted on social media handle People have been following his example for centuries and will continue to do so, Inshallah. Many kings, maharajas, emperors have come and gone, but the Astan of Khwaja Ajmeri is still inhabited.
Sultan-e-Hind Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti (RA) is one of the most important Auliya Ikram of the Muslims of India. People have been following him for centuries and will continue to do so, Inshallah.

The Places of Worship Act of 1991 clearly states that the religious identity of any place of worship cannot be changed, nor will these cases be heard in the court. It is the legal duty of the courts to implement the 1991 Act. It is very regrettable that the law and the Constitution are being flouted to fulfill the agenda of Hindutva systems and Narendra Modi is silently watching.
What is the whole matter?
This petition was filed in the court on behalf of Hindu Sena President Vishnu Gupta. Chairman Vishnu Gupta had raised issues related to the Dargah and sought legal intervention. However, now the next hearing of this case will be held on December 20, where the arguments and documents of the parties will be presented. At the same time, the National President of Hindu Sena says that this matter is related to the religious beliefs of the Hindu society. During the last hearing in the court, a special book was presented as evidence to corroborate the claim. Quoting this book, it was claimed in the court that there was a Hindu temple in the Dargah.
