Uttarakhand police removed the posters of 'I Love Muhammad’ from a mosque at Lalkuan in Nainital following complaints from right-wing organisations. According to the police, posters could have led to communal disharmony in the region.
This new design will be submitted to the Ayodhya Development Authority (ADA) for the NOC very soon.
The Supreme Court on Monday issued notice to the Uttar Pradesh government on a contempt petition arising from the demolition of a part of the Madni Mosque in the state’s Kushinagar district.
He stated, "The day we stop calling it a mosque, people will stop going there. Islam itself teaches against hurting anyone's faith or constructing a mosque-like structure at such places.”
The court had reserved the order in the Gyanvapi Mosque-Shringar Gauri case on September 29 after hearing both sides' arguments.
The decision relates to the maintainability of Hindu women's plea seeking permission to worship Hindu deities in the Gyanvapi Mosque complex.
On Wednesday, the Taliban government did not reply to multiple requests to confirm the number of casualties.
In the dispute, district and sessions judge AK Vishvesha will start hearing the Anjuman Intezamia Masjid Committee's plea challenging the maintainability of the suit filed by the Hindu parties.
Both the Gyanvapi mosque and the Shahi Idgah Mosque, fall under the purview of The Places of Worship Act, 1991, but now they are under litigation.
