AIMPLB expressed displeasure over the survey of Gyanvapi Masjid, said- Muslims will not tolerate injustice

Lucknow. The All India Muslim Personal Law Board has expressed displeasure over the survey of Gyanvapi Masjid and its premises in Varanasi. In a press note issued by the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, it has been said that the order of survey of Gyanvapi Masjid and its premises and the direction to close the Vazukhana on the basis of rumours is based on gross injustice and Muslims will not tolerate it at all. can do

Maulana Khalid Saifullah Rahmani, general secretary of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, said in his press note that the Gyanvapi Masjid is Banaras, the mosque is and the mosque will remain. The attempt to make it a temple is nothing more than a conspiracy to create communal hatred. This is against the historical facts and the law. In 1937, in the case of Deen Muhammad v. Secretary of State, the court, in the light of oral testimony and documents, determined that the entire complex was owned by the Muslim Waqf Board and that Muslims had the right to offer prayers in it. The court also decided how much of the disputed land was a mosque and how much was a temple, at the same time accepting the ownership of the mosque to the Vazukhana.

Unfortunate order of survey and videography

He further said that then in 1991 the Place of Worship Act was passed by the Parliament. The summary of which is that the religious places in which they were in 1947 will be maintained in that condition. In 2019, in the judgment of the Babri Masjid case, the Supreme Court said in very clear words that now all worship places will be under this law and this law is in accordance with the basic spirit of the Constitution. In this decision and the requirement of law was that the court would have immediately rejected the claim of the mosque being a temple in doubt, but it is very unfortunate that the civil court of Benares ordered the survey and videography of the place, so that the facts can be ascertained. can be imposed. The Waqf Board has approached the High Court in this regard and the matter is pending in the High Court.

Closing the Vazukhana is an open violation of the law

He further said that similarly the Gyanvapi Masjid administration has also approached the Supreme Court against this decision of the civil court and the matter is under consideration in the Supreme Court, but ignoring all these things, the civil court ordered the first survey and Then on the basis of rumours, ordered the closure of the Vazukhana, a blatant violation of law which cannot be expected from a court. This action of the court has violated the requirements of justice, so the government should immediately stop the implementation of this decision. Wait for the decision of Allahabad High Court and protect all religious places as per 1991 law. If the status of religious places is changed on the basis of such imaginary arguments, then there will be anarchy in the whole country because how many big temples, Buddhist and Jain religious places have been built by converting them and there are clear signs of them. The Muslims probably cannot tolerate this persecution. All India Muslim Personal Law Board will fight this injustice at every level.
