Bajrang Dal protests against reconstruction of Moinabad mosque
For the second day in a row, there was unrest in Chilkur village, Moinabad, ranga reddy district. Bajrang Dal members held a protest, calling for the demolition of the newly constructed building that had replaced the destroyed mosque.
After a foundation was established for the restoration of the mosque, which was demolished on monday, July 22, by land grabbers, the Bajrang Dal announced a "Chalo Moinabad" protest. To avoid any disturbance, a significant number of police officers were deployed in response to the Bajrang Dal rally. The demonstrators vowed to demolish any long-term building that was being built there.

Members of the Bajrang Dal also assembled at a nearby temple on tuesday to demonstrate against the mosque's restoration. The demonstrators gave up after receiving assurances from the village elders that a fence had been installed up to the boundary and that no further permanent structures were planned.
