'Opening path for anti-Muslim violence': Asaduddin Owaisi says survey of Gyanvapi mosque violates law

AIMIM supremo Asaduddin Owaisi came down heavily on the Varanasi court’s order directing a videographic survey of the Gyanvapi mosque complex on Saturday. In a tweet, Owaisi said that it “is opening the path for the bloodshed of Rath Yatra and anti-Muslim violence of the 1980s-1990s”. Condemning the Varanasi court’s order, Asaduddin Owaisi said in a tweet, “This order to survey Kashi’s Gyanvapi Masjid* is an open violation of 1991 Places of Worship Act, which prohibits conversion of religious places.” “[The] SC [Supreme Court] in Ayodhya judgement had said the Act protects ‘secular features of Indian polity which is 1 of basic features of Constitution’,” Asaduddin Owaisi said.

Unfortunate that the Court* is blatantly defying the SC. By this order, the Court is opening the path for the bloodshed of Rath Yatra and anti-Muslim violence of 1980s-1990s. 2/2
