Ajmer Dargah row: Muslim bodies in Rajasthan urge SC to maintain status quo of mosques

JAIPUR: Muslim organisations in Jaipur on Monday appealed to the Supreme Court to stop attempts to “tamper” with the Ajmer Sharif Dargah and other religious places, and maintain the status quo of mosques by not allowing their survey.

They also demanded that lower courts be instructed to fully comply with the Places of Worship Act, 1991, and not entertain petitions seeking surveys of religious places.

“An attempt is being made to end the status quo of mosques in the name of survey by filing false court cases claiming temples existed at mosque sites,” Mohammad Nazimuddin, convenor of the joint committee Tahaffuz-e-Auqaf, said in a statement.
