Owaisi calls for cameras at mosques amid recent communal clashes in Delhi, MP

Asaduddin Owaisi called for setting up high-resolution cameras at mosques amid incidents of communal clashes in Delhi and Madhya Pradesh.

All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi called for cameras to be set up at mosques amid recent incidents of communal clashes in Madhya Pradesh and Delhi.

Referring to incidents of communal violence in Delhi’s Jahangirpuri and MP’s Khargone, Asaduddin Owaisi said that mosques should put up high-resolution cameras to record religious processions so that people can know who is pelting stones.

The AIMIM chief also hit out at the BJP-led government at the Centre and accused them of indulging in politics of hate.

Earlier today, Asadudding OWaisi had condemned the Varanasi court’s recent order on surveying some areas in the Gyanvapi-Shringar Gauri complex. He had alleged that the order "is opening the path for the bloodshed of Rath Yatra and anti-Muslim violence of 1980s-1990s".

Asaduddin Owaisi tweeted, "This order to survey Kashi's Gyanvapi Masjid is open violation of 1991 Places of Worship Act, which prohibits conversion of religious places."

Talking about his tweet, Owaisi said, “The Government of India and UP government should've told the Court that Parliament passed the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991; it stated that no religious place, as it existed on 15th Aug 1947, will be disturbed. They should've told the court.”

He added, “ The Modi government knows that when Babri Masjid Civil Title judgment came, it linked the 1991 Act to the basic structure of the Constitution. It was constitutional duty of the government to tell the court that what they're doing is wrong. But since they do politics of hatred, they stayed silent.”
