The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) initiated a survey of the Bhojshala Temple-Kamal Maula Mosque complex in Dhar, Madhya Pradesh. Abdul Samad, representing the Muslim side, expressed disagreement with the high court-directed survey, citing changes in the complex and ongoing legal challenges.
The dispute over the Bhojshala complex dates back to the ASIs 2003 order, allowing Hindus to worship on Tuesdays and Muslims to offer namaz on Fridays. The ongoing controversy intensified during instances when Basant Panchami coincided with Fridays, raising questions about worship rights.
The fast-track court of civil judge (senior division) in Varanasi has scheduled Mar 18 for the hearing of a plea filed by Lohta-resident Mukhtar Ahmad Ansari. Ansari has requested to be made a party in the Gyanvapi original suit titled 'Ancient Idol of Swamyambhu Lord Vishweshwar vs Anjuman Intezamia Masjid (AIM)' and others. Advocate Vijay Shankar Rastogi has objected to the plea.
