Muslims claim over Taj.

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.

Thanking you,
