Bhojshala Row: Muslims Allege Namaz Barred Despite Supreme Court Order

  • Muslim leader alleges community was not allowed to offer namaz at their rightful place inside the Bhojshala-Kamal Maula Mosque complex in Dhar, Madhya Pradesh, despite a Supreme Court order.
  • The district administration denied the allegation, stating they followed the apex court's order, allowing Hindus Saraswati puja and Muslims namaz at a separate location.
  • Abdul Samad of Kamal Maula Welfare Society claims the allocated namaz spot is a Waqf graveyard, not the 'four walls' area they consider their mosque.
  • The community plans to file a contempt petition, alleging they were 'cheated' despite cooperating with the administration.
  • Dhar Collector Priyank Mishra stated the administration relied on ASI records, which identified the namaz spot as part of the protected monument.

Why It Matters: Muslims allege namaz restrictions at Bhojshala despite Supreme Court order; administration denies claims.
