Kolhapur, Maharashtra – On 31st January, officials of Municipal Corporation’s Town Planning department went to act against the illegal mosque located in Lakshatirtha Colony at 8 a.m. These officers had to face opposition from the Muslim mob, which created a lot of tension. The authorities could not demolish the illegal mosque despite a huge Police force deployed at the site. Hindu Nationalists gathered at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Chowk and staged a demonstration to protest Muslim opposition to the Municipal officials and demanded immediate demolition of illegal construction.
Bajrang Dal had demanded the demolition of the unauthorised Mosque at the Court and the Court had restrained the Municipality. This injunction was lifted two days ago.
Since the injunction was lifted, the Municipal Administration was ready to take immediate action, but they were intimidated by a huge Muslim Mob.
