Jama Masjid Shahi Imam's emotional appeal to PM Modi Over Sambhal Mosque Row

SIBY JEYYA
Syed ahmed Bukhari, the Shahi Imam of Delhi's Jama Masjid, issued a heartfelt plea to prime minister Narendra Modi to "talk to Muslims of the country" in the midst of escalating interpersonal tensions over mosque surveys across india, according to News18. He also asked Muslim youth to have patience during friday prayers.
 
"PM Modi, you ought to treat the chair you are occupying with respect. Gain the affection of Muslims. "Stop the criminals who are attempting to incite conflict and damage the nation's atmosphere," Bukhari said.
"Our current predicament is worse than it was in 1947. At Jama Masjid, Bukhari declared with tears in his eyes, "No one knows which way the country will go in the future."
 
In order to resolve the current tensions, he urged the prime minister to act right away and proposed inviting three Muslims and three Hindus for talks.
 
Following violent altercations on november 24 during a court-ordered inspection of the Shahi Jama Masjid, which dates back to the Mughal Empire, in the sambhal region of Uttar Pradesh, Bukhari filed his appeal.
 
Mosque surveys in sambhal, Ajmer
Following a court-ordered assessment of the Shahi Jama Masjid on november 19, which was brought on by a petition alleging that the location once housed a Harihar shrine, tensions have been high in Sambhal. Four people were killed and several more, including officials and residents, were injured in a stone-pelting incident that took place on november 24 during the Archaeological survey of India's (ASI) inspection of the Mughal-era mosque.
 
Regarding the mosque surveys, several petitions have also been submitted to courts around the country.
 
According to Bukhari, "ASI has informed us that we do not intend to survey Delhi Jama Masjid; however, the government ought to give the survey conducted in Sambhal-Ajmer and other locations careful consideration." These are all detrimental to the nation. All I can say is that when people made errors, centuries were punished. How long will this be the way the country operates? What is the expected lifespan of the Hindu, Muslim, temple, and mosque?
 
A court in rajasthan has recently received a petition alleging that the Ajmer Sharif Dargah was built on top of a shiva temple. After accepting the plea, the Ajmer court sent letters to the Union Ministry of Minority Affairs, the Ajmer Dargah Committee, and the Archaeological survey of india (ASI) on november 27. The Hindu Sena's national president, vishnu Gupta, submitted the case, claiming that the dargah was formerly a shiva shrine.
