Yesterday, On 7th September, The Himachal Pradesh Waqf Board claimed ownership of the land where a mosque in Sanjauli Colony is located but stated it had “no idea who constructed the additional four floors.” Meanwhile, local residents filed an application to become a party in the case, claiming the land belongs to the state government’s revenue department. The issue will be further discussed in the next hearing set for October 5. Two Hindu organizations protested for the mosque’s demolition, labeling it illegal, and the matter stirred debate in the Vidhan Sabha. Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu emphasized respect for all religions and peaceful protests, but emphasized that no one would be permitted to take the law into their own hands.
