Plea against Bhojshala reaches SC

New Delhi: The SC said it would hear a plea against an order on the survey of a medieval-era ‘Bhojshala’ in MP which people from two communities stake claim to, apart from pleas against the 1991 places for worship law. PTI

The Urs marks annual commemoration of the Sufi saint. The PM presented the chadar to Union Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju, who will travel to Ajmer to present the ceremonial chadar, the 11th such dedication by Modi since he became the PM. The PM’s offering for the dargah comes close on the heels of a court in Ajmer issuing notices in a civil suit claiming a Shiva temple under the dargah.
