The notice issued by Ahlia Nagar Municipal Corporation regarding religious places should be immediately stopped and a period of at least 2 to 3 months should be given: Abu Asim Azmi

Published

Mumbai: The proposal that has been approved regarding religious places in Mumbai’s Ahlia Nagar should be immediately stopped. Because a proposal has been made that immediate action should be taken after the 7-day notice issued by the Ahlia Nagar Municipal Corporation regarding religious places, it should be stopped and the concerned organizations and citizens should be given at least 2 to 3 months to submit their documents. This demand was made by Abu Asim Azmi, Mumbai/Maharashtra state president of Samajwadi Party and an MLA in a letter written to Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
Speaking on the issue, Abu Asim Azmi said that giving permission for only 7 days is neither practical nor fair. Many religious places are decades old, and it takes time to collect their documents and clarify their legal status. It would not be appropriate to take any action without providing a proper opportunity. In this regard, I have written a letter to Deputy Chief Minister and Urban Development Minister Eknath Shinde, appealing to him to intervene in this sensitive matter and directing the administration not to take hasty action against any religious place without completing a thorough investigation and legal action. It is the responsibility of the government and the administration to ensure the protection of religious places that are legal and authorized and to take impartial decisions in accordance with the law while respecting the sentiments of all communities and sections. Azmi said that I am confident that the government, understanding the seriousness of the matter, will take a fair, balanced and sensitive decision that will establish social harmony and peace.
