If any mosque is being converted into a temple, we will not remain silent : Threatens Siddiqullah Chowdhury, JUH

Siddiqullah Chowdhury, Head of Jamiat Ulema-i-Hind in Bengal

Kolkata – “Those people (Hindu devotees) forcibly entered Gyanvapi and started worshipping there. They must immediately relinquish control over Gyanvapi. Do we ever go to temples for our prayers ? (A mindset of falsehood and vehement proclamation among fanatic Muslims ! – Editor) Then why are those people coming to our mosque ? A mosque remains a mosque. If anyone is converting our mosque into a temple, we will not stay quiet. We won’t allow this to happen,” declared Siddiqullah Chowdhury, the head of Jamiat Ulema-i-Hind in Bengal, during an event here.

Under Chowdhury’s leadership, a march was carried out in Kolkata to oppose the worship by Hindus in Gyanvapi. “Yogi Adityanath has no idea what decisions he is making. If he were in Bengal today, we wouldn’t have let him out,” Chowdhury also threatened at the time.

Editorial Perspectives

  • This is like the pot calling the kettle black ! While mosques were historically converted from Hindu temples, instead of returning those to Hindus, there is an attitude of ‘what is mine is mine, and what is yours is also mine’ among religious fanatic Muslims.
  • After the Court order, Hindus have begun offering Puja in the Vyas basement of the Gyanvapi. Chowdhury threatening like this is nothing but the contempt of the Court’s order. Should he not be prosecuted ?
