Ajmer (Rajasthan) – The Ajmer Dargah is originally a Shiva temple. Terrorists desecrated this temple. We are now striving to restore this Shiva temple to its original form. For this, we will seek the assistance of the judiciary, said Vishnu Gupta, National President of Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Sena, during a press conference at Tapasvi Bhavan in Vaishali Nagar.

Vishnu Gupta stated that the ongoing court case regarding the dargah does not fall under the ‘Places of Worship Act.’ This is because the Act only applies to places of worship such as temples, mosques, gurdwaras, and churches. A dargah is not a place of worship and hence does not come under this Act. Therefore, a demand will be made in court to conduct a survey of the site, Gupta said.

1. Vishnu Gupta added, “Being a follower of Sanatan Dharma, I have a constitutional right to lay claim to the Ajmer Dargah temple, and I also possess sufficient evidence to support my claim.”

2. Madan Acharya, President of Vishva Hindu Peeth, Haridwar, who was present at the press conference, stated that before the 11th century, there were no mosques or dargahs in India. Mughal rulers demolished temples and built mosques.

3. Other speakers at the press conference included Ajay Sharma, President of Sanatan Dharma Rakshak Sangh, Ajaymeru, Rajasthan, former judge; Tarun Verma, Coordinator of Sanatan Sangh; and Vijay Kumar Sharma, Media Advisor of Sanatan Dharma Raksha Sangh.

Editorial Perspective

The Union government must now take steps to survey controversial mosques and dargahs in India and, if they were previously temples, hand them over to Hindus !
