Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Friday expressed concern over the Rajasthan court’s notice on a suit on the famous Sufi shrine of saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti in Ajmer terming it as “disturbing” and a “serious” issue for Muslims across the subcontinent.
He was referring to a plea filed in September at the local court in Ajmer, seeking directions to start worship at the Ajmer Shrine, which the plea claimed was a Shiva temple. On November 27, the court issued notices to the dargah committee, the Ministry of Minority Affairs and the Archaeological Survey of India concerning the shrine, which is visited by devotees across the religious and political spectrum.
Mirwaiz, while addressing the Friday congregation at the historic Jama Masjid in downtown Srinagar, said the Rajasthan court order right after the killing of five Muslim youth in Sambhal of Uttar Pradesh in discriminatory police action.
“There seems to be a deliberate pattern where first doubts are raised, then the court orders surveys, and then majority claims have to be satisfied. The Babri Masjid issue, after such claims, followed by its demolition and how it was settled by courts, is fresh in the minds of Muslims,” said Mirwaiz.
The Hurriyat leader said that this is an extremely “disturbing and serious issue for the Muslims of not only India and Kashmir but the subcontinent and the world over.”
