Knews Desk– Politics has intensified on the decision of the High Court regarding the Bhojshala complex located in Dhar, Madhya Pradesh. AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi expressed strong objection to this decision, calling it unconstitutional and compared it to the Babri Masjid-Ram Mandir dispute. Owaisi alleged that the court’s decision gives priority to one religion, while weakening the worship rights of another community.

During the press conference held in Hyderabad, Owaisi said that this decision is not in accordance with the constitutional values ​​of India. He said that like the Babri Masjid case, here too the verdict has been given on the basis of faith. According to Owaisi, such decisions can open the way for many other religious places to be dragged into controversies in future. He said that “The Places of Worship Act has been made a complete joke.”

Owaisi said that the Supreme Court had linked the Places of Worship Act to the basic structure of the Constitution in the Babri Masjid case, but now the same principle seems to be ignored. He claimed that at the time of Babri Masjid decision, he had warned that this decision would give rise to many new controversies in future. He said that today the same situation is emerging in the Bhojshala case.

The AIMIM chief also said that in the Babri Masjid case, the court had not accepted the possession of Muslims, whereas the Muslim community has been offering namaz in the Bhojshala complex for a long time. He said that such decisions of the court can become a challenge to both the sanctity of religious places and social harmony.

On this issue, Maulana Khalid Rashid Farangi Mahli, President of Islamic Center of India and Executive Member of All India Muslim Personal Law Board, said that the Muslim community is definitely disappointed with this decision, but the path to the Supreme Court is still open. He said that Namaz has been offered in the Bhojshala premises for centuries and the Muslim side has historical documents and legal evidence. He also clarified that the legal circumstances of the Bhojshala dispute are different from the Babri Masjid case and the two cannot be compared.

On the other hand, the Hindu side has welcomed the decision of the High Court. Advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain, representing the Hindu side, called it a historic decision. He said that Indore High Court has partially canceled the order of ASI dated April 7, 2003 and has considered the Bhojshala complex as belonging to Raja Bhoj.

According to Jain, the court has given the Hindu side the right to worship and has asked the government to consider the suggestion of bringing the idol kept in the London Museum back to India. The court has also asked to consider the option of handing over the responsibility of management of the complex to the government and giving alternative land to the Muslim side. After the verdict, the Bhojshala controversy has once again come to the center of national politics and religious debate.
