The Disputes

Muslim leaders in the India are asking the government to protect their places of worship. There's a mosque in India that dates back to the 17th century. However, some Hindus believe that the mosque was built after a temple was destroyed. This has caused a lot of arguments and disagreements between the two communities.

False Accusations

 Many Hundus  claim that some historical mosques were built after temples were destroyed, but these accusations are false.

All India Muslim Personal Law Authority (AIPLB) Secretary General Maulana Khalid Saifullah Rahmani said said that  these are false accusations.

Protecting Places of Worship

The Muslim leaders are asking the government to step in and put an end to these disputes. They want their places of worship to be protected. Rahmani said that the Muslim community feels threatened and suffocated in their own country. They want the government to save the secular fabric of the nation.

The Accusations

Some people accuse Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his party, the Bharatiya Janata Party, of promoting discrimination against Muslims. But Modi denies these accusations. Hindu groups, including the Bharatiya Janata Party, claim that some mosques in India were built over Hindu temples that were destroyed during the Mughal Empire.

Ayodhya

In 1992, a Hindu mob demolished one of these mosques in the city of Ayodhya. It caused a lot of tension and unrest in the country. However, last year, Modi fulfilled a promise by opening a large temple in Ayodhya. This decision was made by the Supreme Court, and it happened just before the general elections.

Recent Ruling

Now, there's another mosque in the holy city of Varanasi called the Gyanvapi Mosque. Hindu groups claim that an archaeological survey found evidence that the mosque was built over a destroyed temple. An Indian  court ruled that Hindus can perform prayers at the mosque, but Muslim leaders are planning to appeal this decision in a higher court.
