According to details, a court in the Indian state, Rajasthan accepted a petition from Vishnu Gupta, the head of the Hindu extremist group ‘Hindu Sena’. The petition demands that the shrine of Sufi saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti in Ajmer Sharif should be declared a temple.

Vishnu Gupta claimed in the petition that there was a Hindu temple within the shrine s premises, which needed to be restored. The petition also demands that the Archaeological Survey of India should conduct a survey to determine the historical and religious significance of the site.

Moreover, the application requested that the court should allow the Hindus to offer worship there by cancelling the registration of the shrine.

On the other hand, the court has issued notices to the Ajmer Dargah Committee, the Ministry of Minority Affairs, and the Archaeological Survey of India, and adjourned the hearing of the case until December 20.

It is worth noting that this decision has sparked backlash in Indian politics. Sanjay Singh, a member of parliament from the Aam Aadmi Party, has demanded immediate intervention from the Supreme Court.

Singh stated that the 1991 Places of Worship Act clearly prohibits changing the status of any religious site after August 15, 1947.

This incident has occurred at a time when there has been an increase in controversies over religious sites by Hindu extremists in recent days. A few days ago, three people were killed in protests over claims that a mosque in the city of Sambhal in Uttar Pradesh was actually a temple
