Ajmer Sharif Dargah Poem: ‘Prime Ministers Nehru to Modi send chadar to dargah’: Objection on Ajmer poem | India news

NEW DELHI: Opposition leaders criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh for “weakening the rule of law in the country” after the court allowed Hindu Sena’s plea claiming that Ajmer Sharif Dargah is a temple of Lord Shiva.
Pointing out that the dargah is 800 years old, AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi said, “When Queen Elizabeth visited in 1911, she built a house on the water there. Prime Ministers, starting with Nehru, sent ‘Chadar’ to the dargah. Prime Minister Modi is also sending ‘Chadar’ there. Why did the BJP-RSS spread this hatred against mosques and dargahs?”
“Why aren’t the lower courts hearing? Act on places of worship?” he added.
“They made the ministry of minority affairs a party (in this case). What will the Modi government tell them? Why don’t lower courts consider the law on places of worship? You will go anywhere and say that there was something different about the place of the mosque or dargah. Next time, a Muslim would also go somewhere and say that it is not here. What about the rule of law? Where is democracy heading? – Owaisi asked.

“People in power are taking the country backwards.”

Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Dimple Yadav accused the BJP of trying to take the country backwards. She argued that the current government is not prioritizing the employment of young people, instead focusing on issues that distract society from more pressing issues.
“We want the Sambhal incident to be discussed in the Lok Sabha. The Marshal assured us that he would take care of it. There is a complete plan of action by which the UP Police is harassing and manipulating people… We are saying this. It was carried out in a well-planned manner,” she said.

“Things like this will set the country on fire.”

Congress MP Imran Masood urged Prime Minister Modi to investigate the matter and warned that such events could disturb peace in the country.
“Things like this will stir up the whole country. What’s going on? The Prime Minister should take up this matter and the Supreme Court should take up this matter. Where do you want to sideline the entire community? You don’t leave religious places and facilities to her,” he said.
“Where do you want to push us aside? Where should we go? Drive us out of the country. In which mosques will you look for temples? Is there any limit or not? They (Central government) rejected the Worship Act 1991. Will they (BJP) burn the entire nation for their political benefits? Jab aag lagti hai to sabke ghar lagti hai (When a fire rages, it rages everywhere),” he added.
A court in Ajmer on Wednesday issued notices to the Union ministry of minority affairs and the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) in connection with a suit filed by a Hindu organization.
The lawsuit claimed that the site of the Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti dargah was originally the location of a Shiva temple, based on “historical evidence” suggesting that the Sufi saint’s 13th-century marble shrine was built over the temple before it became his tomb.
