Muslim organizations in India will meet to discuss the issue.
REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, NEW DELHI — Muslim organization Jamiat-Ulama-i-Hind will hold a large rally in Deoband Uttar Pradesh on May 28-29, 2022, amid dispute involving Gyanvapi Mosque and Qutub Minar .
About 5,000 Muslim organizations will participate in the event. The meeting aimed to discuss issues surrounding the mosques of Gyanvapi, Mathura and monuments such as the Qutub Minar.
Jamiat-Ulema-E-Hind is likely to pass several resolutions to the ongoing debate on the mandir mosque. Quote from the page India today, Wednesday (25/5/2022).
Earlier, Maulana Mahmood Asad Madani, as chairman of the Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, had urged the organization not to intervene in the Gyanvapi case.
The Qutub Minar controversy erupted after former Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) Regional Director Dharamveer Sharma claimed that the Qutub Minar was built by Hindu Emperor Raja Vikramaditya, not Qutb al-Din Aibak for study the direction of the sun.
It is also claimed that idols of Hindu deities have been found in the complex. On May 21, Culture Ministry Secretary Govind Mohan visited the site with three historians, four ASI officers and researchers. ASI officials informed the Secretary that excavation work at the Qutub Minar complex had not been carried out since 1991.
Earlier, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) spokesperson Vinod Bansal claimed that the Qutub Minar is actually the “Vishnu Stambh” and that the structure was built with materials obtained after the demolition of 27 Hindu temples- jains.
