Ujjain Shahi Masjid Dispute Centers on Road-Widening, Community Removal of Mosque Portion
The controversy over Ujjain's Shahi Masjid involves road-widening work affecting parts of the mosque. Madhya Pradesh Waqf Board Chairman Sanwar Patel stated that only the mosque portion within the project area is being removed by the community, denying demolition or relocation. AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi criticized the move, linking it to the Waqf Amendment Act and alleging it targets Muslim properties. Officials say the development affects multiple religious structures, and investigations continue following clashes between protesters and authorities.
