The administration should seize the Mosque – Rashtriya Seva Sangh

In this case, Himanshu Joshi, the president of Rashtriya Seva Sangh said, “the case has been prolonged for last 2 months. It has caught the attention of the entire nation, and everyone knows about it. Today, through this protest, we demand the Mosque to be demolished by the administration. The case is still pending in the court. We demand that this property must be immediately seized and taken over.

Demand equal justice for all

A local resident said, “my house was demolished under the excuse that it was illegal, then why there is no action on the Mosque ? I have been a resident of this locality, and I never received any notice, there was no hearing in the Court. There must be the same principles of justice for all. Like how my house was demolished this illegal construction must be demolished too.

Editorial Perspective

Why do Hindus need to resort to agitation against illegal Mosque in a BJP ruled State ? Why doesn’t the Government act on its own ?
