Bhojshala: Hindu body moves SC, wants stay to go
New Delhi, July 20
A Hindu organisation instrumental in getting an order for a scientific survey of the Bhojshala complex at Dhar in Madhya Pradesh by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has moved the Supreme Court for lifting of stay on any further action based on the ASI report.
The existing structure of a mosque in the Bhojshala complex was made from parts of an earlier temple that can be dated to the Paramara period almost 1,000 years ago, the ASI told the Madhya Pradesh High Court on July 15. Hindus have been demanding full ownership of the disputed site, claiming it was a temple of Goddess Saraswati and the mosque came up later.
