Dear Sir,
Last week Uttar Pradesh
ethics follower and law abiding Muslim man and Minister Mr. Azam Khan created
controversy over the claim of Muslim on Taj Mehal. Khan Saheb stated
central Government to handover the Taj Mehal to Waqf Board of Muslim Community;
as King Shahajahan was the Muslim. I am totally satisfied with the
version of Khan Saheb and would like to go little ahead from the statement of
Khan Saheb not only Taj Mehal but every monuments created by the Muslim Kings
should be handover to the Muslims.
Reason behind it the claim
is very simple because archeological department could not maintain the
monuments in proper manner. According to constitution of archeology no harm
should be caused to these monuments, and no construction is allowed near to the
monuments or inside the monuments the perpetrator will be punished and the
quantum of punishment more particularly defined in IPC. But it would not be the
matter of surprise that in every monument Hindu structure or temple constructed
illegally. Charminar, Golkunda Fort, Dhar Jami Masjid, Shahi Masjid, Tipu
Sultan fort, Tipu Sultan grave yard and almost every monuments one temple is
constructed illegally and forcibly after the demise of the king or after
independence of India.
In front of Agra Fort of
Akbar a big statue of Shivaji erected after 1996. Here I would like to ask
Government of U.P. and India what was the contribution of Shivaji for Uttar
Pradesh, he even could not concord Maharashtra fully, and spent his life on the
mountains. At the time of his death he owned only one castle with him.
Archeological department is not taking care on heritage monuments that is the
reason Muslims wanted back monuments from Government. We will leave our claim
if all the illegal structure constructed by Sanghis inside the Monuments or
near to monuments demolish by the Government and give assurance in assembly to
maintain the monument properly and take care with any type of damage
henceforth.
On the demand of
Khan Saheb Government of India wanted to divide the community into Shia and
Sunni, Times group twisted the comment of Muslim scholar Qalbe Jawwad at
Lucknow. According to Nav Bharat Times and Times of india Shia scholar
claim on the Taj Mehal because Mumtaz was Shia. Times of India spread cooked
news and raised allegation on Muslim scholar he never claims for Taj to
Shias. There is no question of Shia and Suni, Taj should be given
to Muslims that is all, either to Shias or Sunnis; both the sects are Muslims. Further stated by the
prominent Muslim Scholar in Lucknow that Taj is heritage property of India and
there should not be any politics. OK I agree with the version of
Prominent Muslim scholar and we Muslims will abide by his version that Taj is
Heritage of India and there should not be any politics. Reason behind the claim
of Taj by the Muslims is very simple; it is not maintained properly by
archeological department of India, if Heritage Monuments maintained properly by
archeological department, there should not be new illegal construction come
into existence in the form of temples and Hindu deities.
Khan saheb might have
apprehension from mischief mongers in the form of Sanghis they may damage Taj
as they did in case of Babri Masjid over the fake claim of Ram birth place,
keeping all the structure and orders of Supreme Court in hole. Now Government
at centre is terrorists supportive and any order of Court or Constitution may
flung in air at any juncture.
It is very clear
archeological department could not maintain the monuments in proper manner, and
there is negligence in the work. According to constitution of archeology
no harm should be caused to these monuments, and no construction is allowed
near to the monuments or inside the monuments the perpetrator will be punished
with quantum of punishment more particularly defined in Law. But it would not
be the matter of surprise that even after the statutory binding in every
monument Hindu structure or temple constructed illegally. Charminar, Golkunda
Fort, Dhar Jami Masjid, Shahi Masjid, Tipu Sultan fort, Tipu Sultan grave yard
and almost every monuments one temple is constructed illegally and forcibly
after the demise of the king or after independence of India.
It is also request with the
Member of Parliament from Secular front and Muslims to fight to declare Nawab
estates as reserve Muslim constituency to improve Muslim economy such as
1. Janjira Maharashtra was
Nawab estate
2. Hyderabad
was Nizam estate
3. Savanupr
Karnataka was Nawab estate
4. Rampur
Uttar Pradesh Nawab estate
5. Banganapalle
A.P. Nawab estate
6. Loharu
Haryana Nawab estate
7. Tonk
Rajasthan Nawab estate
8. Junagard
Guj Nawab estate.
9. Murshidabad
Bengal Nawab estate
10. Jaora MP Nawab estate
11. Any other estate by Nawab
at the time of independence.
