AIMIM chief Owaisi condemns Saharanpur mosque demolition, says ‘you cannot bulldoze our masjid’
- On Saturday, September 5, authorities demolished a mosque inside the Saharanpur Collectorate complex, prompting AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi to condemn the action and question the legality of destroying a structure he claims has existed since 1911.
- Authorities declared the mosque illegal, citing its location on government land; the demolition followed a District Judge's court decision dismissing the management committee's appeal despite Owaisi's arguments regarding Waqf principles.
- Owaisi alleged that the administration carried out the demolition in the early hours "like thieves" to prevent higher court intervention, claiming the Yogi Adityanath-led BJP government knew it was "in the wrong."
- Seeking to challenge the action, Owaisi appealed to the mosque's management to approach higher courts, stating AIMIM is ready to assist, while questioning if the Constitution of India still guarantees freedom of religion for Muslims.
- Raising concerns about religious freedom, Owaisi challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, alleging the demolition is part of a conspiracy to weaken the Constitution and target mosques in BJP-governed regions.
