Owaisi highlighted the history of the Dargah and said that previous Prime Ministers from Jawaharlal Nehru have sent chadars to the Dargah. Regarding the controversy, he said that this Dargah has been present there for the last 800 years.
After the recent controversy over Ajmer Sharif Dargah in Rajasthan, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) MP Asaduddin Owaisi targeted the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Earlier, a Rajasthan court had accepted the Hindu Army’s plea claiming Ajmer Sharif Dargah to be a temple of Lord Shiva.
Speaking on the same, Owaisi highlighted the history of the Dargah and said that previous Prime Ministers from Jawaharlal Nehru have sent chadars to the Dargah. Regarding the controversy, he said that this Dargah has been present there for the last 800 years. At that time there was Mughal rule. Emperor Akbar built many things there. Then came the rule of Marathas, later Ajmer was sold to the British for Rs 18,000. When Queen Elizabeth came there in 1911, she built a water house there.
He said that starting from Nehru, many Prime Ministers have been sending chadars to the Dargah. PM Modi also sends sheets there. Why have BJP-RSS spread this hatred regarding mosques and dargahs? AIMIM MP Owaisi also questioned the conduct of lower courts, implying that the Places of Worship Act was being ignored. He questioned why the lower courts are not hearing the Places of Worship Act?
Owaisi asked that they have made the Minority Affairs Ministry a party (in this case). What will Modi government say to them? Why are lower courts not hearing the Places of Worship law? You will go everywhere and say that there was something else instead of a mosque or a dargah. Next time any Muslim will go somewhere and say that this did not exist here. Where will it stop? What about the rule of law? Where will democracy go?
