Hyderabad: AIMIM President Asaduddin Owaisi on Tuesday asked BJP why it was showing shyness regarding the places of worship law.
“Following the law of the country. Will BJP defend its constitutionality before tribunals or not?”, asked a post in ‘X’.
The purpose of the Law on Places of Worship 1991 is to prohibit the conversion of any place of worship and to prevent the religious character of any place of worship as it existed on 15 August 1947.
The Hyderabad MP raised the question in response to Amit Malvya’s publication in which he was accused of giving a communal color to the consecration of the Ram temple.
“Asaduddin Owaisi is doing what he knows best: giving communal color to the consecration of Ram temple. In 2020, two mosques in Hyderabad, Masjid-e-Mohammadi and Masjid-e-Hashmi, were demolished to build the Secretariat, but Owaisi, who is a member of the city Parliament, did not say a word”, Malvya said. Wrote.
On this, Owaisi replied that the demolished mosques were rebuilt. “Mosques were demolished illegally but rebuilt. Today we offer namaz in them. Everyone including AIMIM opposed the demolition. The Chief Minister himself participated in the inauguration of the reopened mosques”, the AIMIM chief said.
“This is not the case of the Babri Masjid, which was first consecrated in December 1949, was converted into a temple in 1986 and was demolished in December 1992. Don’t they want to do the same with Kashi and Mathura? , This is the decision of the Tribunal Supreme. The court is supreme but not infallible.
