"Forget AI, Talk Only ASI, Keep Digging": A Owaisi Amid Ajmer Sharif Row

AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi said Prime Minister Modi has sent 10 chadars to Ajmer Sharif in 10 years

Amid the row over a Rajasthan court admitting a petition that claims that the Ajmer Sharif dargah was built over a Shiva temple, AIMIM leader and MP Asaduddin Owaisi has said the dargah goes back 800 years and asked, "Where will this stop?"

"That Dargah goes back 800 years, during the reign of Alauddin Khalji; it's mentioned in Amir Khusro's book from the 13th century and 800 years later, you are saying it's not a dargah. What will remain?" he said in a press conference.

Mr Owaisi said an official delegation from two neighbouring countries visits the dargah annually, and every Prime Minister sends a chadar there. "Where will this stop? If tomorrow, people from Jain and Buddhist communities go to court claiming that some places are their religious sites, what will happen?" he asked.
