Controversy Over Shiva Temple Claim
The controversy began when the Hindu Sena claimed that a Shiva temple lies beneath the Ajmer Sharif Dargah. This claim has led to legal battles, with the Supreme Court stepping in to address the issue. The court has scheduled the next hearing for January 24. “The Prime Minister should refrain from sending Chadar,” said Vishnu Gupta, president of the Hindu Sena.
Supreme Court’s Intervention
The Supreme Court has restrained lower courts from admitting new suits or pleas seeking surveys of mosques and dargahs to determine if temples lie beneath them. This move aims to prevent further escalation of the controversy.
Significance of the Chadar Offering
The ‘chadar’ offering at the Ajmer Sharif Dargah is a significant event, attracting millions of devotees from around the world. It marks the annual Urs of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, a revered 13th-century Sufi saint. “We are taking the chadar to Ajmer Sharif Dargah,” said Union Minister Kiren Rijiju.
PM Modi’s Message of Unity
Despite the ongoing controversy, PM Modi’s gesture of sending the ‘chadar’ underscores his commitment to promoting unity and peace among different communities in India.
