Ajmer Dargah Dispute: Muslim Group Reacts to Claims of Shiva Temple, Court Sets Date for Next Hearing

Ajmer Dargah Dispute: The controversy over the Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti Dargah in Ajmer has gained momentum with allegations that a Shiva temple exists within the shrine. The Hindu Sena, a right-wing organization, has filed a petition in a lower court seeking an investigation into the matter. The court has accepted the petition and issued notices to all concerned parties. The next hearing in this case is scheduled for December 20.

In response to the court's decision to entertain the petition, the Anjuman Committee, which runs the dargah, has been strongly opposing the move. The secretary of the committee shared a video on social media where he underlined the dargah's role in promoting unity and diversity, stating that the shrine serves as a significant center of spirituality from Afghanistan to Indonesia.

The case continues to generate tensions between the two communities as they gear up for the next hearing in court, with the Muslim side pleading for the sanctity and historical significance of the dargah, while the Hindu Sena urges a proper investigation into the temple claim. The verdict of December 20 may prove to be a turning point in the religious and cultural scenario of the region.
