About festival tomorrow, waqf board's lawyer said mandatory permission wasnt taken, hints at political motive "with elections due next year"
Karnataka Waqf Board's opposition to the use of Bengaluru's Idgah Maidan for Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations reached the Supreme Court today, where two judges differed with each other, and now it'll be heard by a three-judge bench to end the deadlock by the evening.
Since the festival is tomorrow, an urgent hearing was requested and granted. The state government, which gave permission for the use, argued that it could be heard the day after tomorrow.
One of the waqf board's arguments is that the Hindu festival in a space owned by the Muslim organisation is being held “with elections due next year”, hinting at political motives. Elections to the city municipal corporation — Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike or BBMP — are scheduled in 2023.
