After the claim of declaring Jama Masjid located in Sambhal district as a temple and the subsequent survey conducted by the court, the police of the district has become alert regarding the first prayers of Friday. In fact, on Friday, worshipers were asked through social media to gather near the mosque in large numbers. A large number of security forces have been deployed by barricading around the mosque. Along with this, the road leading to the mosque has been closed so that the crowd cannot gather. Also, the police are continuously keeping an eye on the area with the help of drones.
what is the matter
The Hindu side claims that at the place where Jama Masjid is built, there was earlier a Hindu temple whose name was Shri Harihar. It is believed that Lord Kalki will incarnate at this place. But in 1529, the Gall ruler Babar demolished the temple and built a mosque. The Hindu side had filed a case in the court regarding this claim and demanded a survey of the mosque. On Tuesday, the court, while passing the order to constitute ‘Advocate Commission’ for the survey of Jama Masjid, had said that through the commission, videography and photography survey should be conducted and the report should be filed in the court.
