Owaisi criticises Maharashtra government over mosque demolition in Pune
Pune: AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has expressed strong opposition to the demolition of a mosque in Pune by the Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra government. Owaisi questioned the government’s decision, pointing out that while only the mosque is being targeted for demolition, thousands of houses around it are also illegal but remain untouched.
According to Owaisi, the Masjid Darululam Jamia Inamiya in the Thergaon Kaliwadi area of Pimpri-Chinchwad, Pune, has existed for over 25 years. He stated that despite the fact that numerous houses in the area are unauthorized, only the mosque has been singled out for demolition. He accused right-wing Hindu organizations of instigating the complaint, leading to the notice for the mosque's removal.
Owaisi further challenged Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, asking why the demolition was limited to a mosque and did not include other unauthorized structures in the vicinity. He raised concerns over the perceived discrimination and questioned the government's approach in handling the issue.
