Plea against Ajmer Dargah a ploy to disrupt communal harmony: Khadims

Jaipur: A body representing the 'Khadims' of Ajmer dargah has condemned a plea in a local court that seeks to declare the shrine of Khawaja Gharib Nawaz as a temple, saying right-wing forces were trying to "isolate" Muslims and "disrupt" communal harmony.

A local court in Ajmer on Wednesday issued notices to the dargah committee, Ministry of Minority Affairs and Archaeological Survey of India, New Delhi, seeking their response.

While dargah committee officials declined comment, Syed Sarwar Chishti, secretary of Anjuman Syed Zadgan, a body representing the Khadims (caretakers) of the dargah, said the body should be made a party to the case.


"The community accepted the decision in the Babri Masjid case and we believed nothing will happen after that but unfortunately such things are happening again and again. The example of Sambhal in Uttar Pradesh is in front of us. This must stop," he said.
