Shahi Mosque Demolition Sparks Protest
Muslims in the city of Ujjain, in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, staged a protest to prevent the demolition of part of the historic "Shahi" Mosque, which is approximately 600 years old. The protest took place amidst heavy security presence and clashes with police forces. These actions are part of a plan to widen the road in preparation for the "Simahta Kumb Mela" festival in 2028. The protesters oppose the mosque's demolition, arguing that it infringes on their religious rights and poses risks to Islamic endowments. They demand that the road be expanded from the opposite side rather than destroying the religious structure. Officials and mosque representatives emphasized that exempting mosques from such expansion projects is essential. The Islamic movement and legal entities oppose the Supreme Court's decision, which approved the mosque's demolition, and legal efforts are underway to appeal the ruling.
