India: Indian Hindu groups want Muslims to stop entering historic mosque

NEW DELHI, 20 May 2022, (TON): Lawyers said “members of hardline Hindu groups filed petitions in a court in northern India to stop Muslims from entering a historic mosque, until the court decides on an earlier plea seeking approval to look for any Hindu relics which may be on the site.”

Meanwhile, Hindutva organization Sri Ram Sene said “it is preparing a list of churches and mosques in Karnataka it claims are illegal.”

Another Hindutva outfit, the Narendra Modi Vichar Manch, called for a survey of mosques in the state to look for evidence of Hindu monuments that may have stood at the same sites.

Judges of a local court in Mathura in Uttar Pradesh allowed the new petitions but are yet to start hearings in the 2020 case aimed at securing permission to film and survey inside the 17th century Shahi Eidgah mosque.
