Uttar Pradesh CM Adityanath weighs in on mandir-masjid debate, defends 'reclaiming heritage'
Prayagraj: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Adityanath has backed the concept of "reclaiming heritage" amid the renewed rise of temple-mosque disputes across the country.
Speaking at AajTak's Dharma Sansad event ahead of the Maha Kumbh mela, Adityanath stated that reclaiming heritage should not be seen as a negative act, as reported by India Today on Friday.
"Sanatan proof is now visible in Sambhal. India won't be run on the Muslim League mentality," Adityanath remarked, referring to the Shahi Jama Masjid dispute in the Uttar Pradesh that ignited violence last year.
At least five Muslim youth, including a minor was killed in November when UP police allegedly opened fire on people protesting the court-ordered survey of the Jama Masjid.
Speaking on the violence in Sambhal over a court-mandated survey of the Shahi Jama Masjid, the Hindutva leader highlighted that the Puranas mention Sambhal as the birthplace of Kalki, the tenth incarnation of Lord Vishnu, the report added.
Adityanath’s remarks come shortly after RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat expressed concern over the growing number of temple-mosque disputes, urging people not to raise such issues unnecessarily.
Adityanath also addressed the claims that the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj was being held on waqf land. Adityanath stressed that the state government would reclaim every inch of land that has been taken under the pretext of waqf. "The Kumbh has been a symbol of India's heritage for thousands of years and has always taken place here. It is not the Waqf Board but a board of land mafias," he remarked.
Additionally, Adityanath revealed that the government was investigating all land occupied under waqf claims and had amended laws to scrutinise such properties. "Wherever the word 'waqf appears, it will be investigated to see in whose name the land was originally registered, and efforts will be made to return it to its rightful owners," he said.
