Gyanvapi row: Muslim outfits question hurry shown in initiating puja, to approach President
“The District Judge's decision... is highly questionable, especially when it was the judge’s last day in office. Equally concerning is the unilateral disclosure of the ASI report, causing turmoil in society. Importantly, this report is merely a claim,” the leaders said in a joint statement.
Security personnel conduct a flag march during a bandh called by the mosque committee in Varanasi, Friday. PTI Leaders of Muslim bodies, including All India Muslim Personal Law Board and Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, on Friday expressed regret and concern over the “abrupt initiation” of puja in the cellar of Gyanvapi mosque in Varanasi. The leaders have sought time from the President to convey their concerns on the Gyanvapi situation and other such matters prevailing in different parts of the country.
Speaking to reporters, the leaders said that the swift initiation of puja despite the court granting a seven-day window to the administration for making necessary arrangements point to the “apparent collusion” between the administration and the plaintiff, aimed at foreclosing any effort by the Mosque Managing Committee to pursue remedies against the district court order.
