What is the real reason behind the Shahi Masjid dispute in Ujjain? The Hanuman temple standing on this very road has been demolished. Why then, an objection to a part of the mosque?
In Ujjain, tension suddenly escalated outside the Shahi Masjid on Monday morning. When the process of removing a portion of the mosque for road widening began, protesters confronted the police. There was stone-pelting, tear gas shells were fired, and a lathi charge had to be made. The action had to be stopped during prayer time, and several markets and private schools in the city remained closed. What is actually happening in Ujjain? How did things escalate to this point? Will other religious sites also face similar actions?
