What the Mathura Idgah row is all about
Friday, 15 December 2023
The Supreme Court refused to stay the Allahabad HC's order allowing a court-monitored survey of the Shahi Idgah mosque premises adjacent to the Krishna Janmabhoomi temple in Mathura. The Hindu side claims that Raja Veer Singh Bundela built a temple on the land in 1618, which was later destroyed by Mughal emperor Aurangzeb to construct the Shahi Idgah mosque. They argue that a lotus-shaped pillar and Hindu religious symbols are present on the mosque premises, proving that it was a temple. The defendants, Shahi Idgah mosque committee and UP Sunni Central Waqf Board, dispute these claims.
