Iqra Hasan criticizes Saharanpur mosque demolition, seeks meeting with Prime Minister
The demolition of a century-old mosque in the Saharanpur Collectorate premises, following a court order declaring it illegal, has sparked controversy. Kairana MP Iqra Hasan visited the site with a Samajwadi Party delegation, labeling the action unlawful and expressing her intent to meet the Prime Minister. Meanwhile, the discovery of an ancient well beneath the debris has prompted calls for an ASI investigation to determine its historical significance.
VIMARSHNAARAD TVThe demolition of a mosque over a century old located within the Saharanpur Collectorate premises has become a significant point of contention. Following a court ruling that declared the structure illegal, the local administration proceeded with the demolition. The incident has since become a major topic of discussion, drawing various reactions from the public and political circles.
Kairana MP Iqra Hasan has strongly opposed the move. Accompanied by a delegation from the Samajwadi Party, she visited the site and accused the government of carrying out an unlawful demolition. Iqra Hasan stated that she intends to seek a meeting with the Prime Minister to present her concerns regarding the matter directly.
During the demolition process, an ancient well was uncovered beneath the debris, sparking new debates. Local claims regarding the age and historical usage of the well have emerged, with some suggesting it may be linked to an ancient religious site, adding layers of complexity to the situation.
According to administrative sources, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) will now be involved to investigate the well. The ASI's findings are expected to clarify the age of the structure and its historical purpose, potentially shedding light on the site's past.
Currently, the demolition has left the local community with a mix of frustration and curiosity. While political representatives are preparing to challenge the administration's actions, the public is awaiting the results of the archaeological investigation.
The administration has implemented precautionary measures to maintain order in the area. While no detailed official report has been released yet, the statements made by Iqra Hasan have elevated the issue into a significant political debate.
Future developments, including the findings of the ASI report and any potential engagement with the Prime Minister's office, will be critical in determining the next steps in this ongoing dispute. For now, the Saharanpur site remains a focal point of public attention.
