Plea Seeks Muslims Be Stopped From Offering Prayers At Mathura Mosque

One of the petitioners said they have approached the court with a plea seeking "permanent injunction" on the use of the structure by the Muslim community.
A group of lawyers and law students has filed a plea in a court in Mathura demanding that Muslims be restrained from offering prayers at the Shahi Idgah mosque, which they said has been built at the place believed to be the birthplace of Lord Krishna.
Ten separate petitions have earlier been filed in Mathura courts by different Hindu groups seeking the removal of the mosque, which they claimed was built at the birthplace of the deity, within the 13.37-acre premises of the Katra Keshav Dev temple.
The fresh plea said a majority of the Hindu community believes that Lord Krishna was born at the place where the mosque stands.
Advocate Shailendra Singh, one of the petitioners, also claimed that the mosque was built at the place where once a temple stood.
