mosque

Historical records, archaeological evidence, and official documents converge to show that the Bharuch Jama Masjid was built using materials from demolished Hindu-Jain temples during the Khilji era.

The Akhil Bharatiya Sant Samiti has accused the Bharuch Jama Masjid management of violating ASI rules, claiming the protected site is an ancient Jain temple and demanding an immediate survey and restoration of its original form.

The Sanjauli Mosque was illegal since its construction. Walking through the streets, one sees almost only Hindus going about their daily work, and rarely a Muslim. Yet, a mosque was built in this small area. It serves a specific purpose. Rohingyas and Bangladeshis have also reached here.
