1915 record cited to validate Sanjauli mosque as legal structure

Shimla, Dec 8 (UNI) The dispute over the multi-storey mosque structure in Sanjauli has taken a new turn, with the All Himachal Muslims Organisation producing a 1915 revenue record to assert that the mosque is a legally established place of worship and not an encroachment, as alleged by several protesting groups.
The organisation and the Himachal Pradesh Waqf Board have termed the ongoing controversy an unnecessary attempt to vitiate communal harmony in the state.
Addressing media persons in Shimla, Nazakat Ali Hashmi, president of the All Himachal Muslims Organisation, said the Sanjauli mosque has existed for more than a century and is reflected in official records across decades.
