Ajmer Dargah News: On the occasion of Urs, Prime Minister Narendra Modi sent a chadar to Ajmer Sharif Dargah, which was taken by Union Minister Kiren Rijiju. Politics is also taking place on this matter. All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) President Asaduddin Owaisi said, ‘On one hand Prime Minister Modi is sending bedsheets for the Dargah, on the other hand excavation is being done.’
Talking to news agency ANI, he said, ‘He treated our wounds like this, even if the ointment was applied, it was with the tip of a thorn. BJP is in government for the last 10 years, BJP has no stand on the Places of Worship law. You are offering the chadar because you believe that there is a Dargah there, but you want a Dargah, there is no Dargah there. This needs to be stopped.
‘If the Prime Minister wants, all this can be stopped’
Owaisi said, ‘BJP, Sangh Parivar and their organizations across the country are going to court to find out where the excavation should take place. They are saying that this is not a mosque, this is not a tomb. If the Prime Minister wishes, all this will stop. BJP has been in the government for the last 10 years and Narendra Modi is the Prime Minister. More than 7 cases of Masjid-Dargah are in Uttar Pradesh, where BJP is in power and the Prime Minister is an MP from there. Nothing will happen by sending the sheet. This should also have a message.
