*Hindutva BJP govt demolishes 2 century-old Muslim scholar’s dargah in Delhi*
*New Delhi, April 30*
The Hindutva Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government demolished two centuries old dargah (shrine) of a Muslim religious scholar, popularly known as Nanhe Mian Chishti Dargah, in New Delhi.
The dargah was demolished by the authorities without any notice served or any information conveyed to the caretaker of the shrine at Mandi House in the heart of the capital.
The dargah, located at the end corner of the Shri Ram Centre for Performing Arts, is the grave of Syed Nanhe Miyan Chishti (Little Gentleman), a spiritual figure. The shrine had been a common visiting site for many, irrespective of their faith.
Interestingly, Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC), and Delhi Police all deny any responsibility for sanctioning the demolition.
One of the caretakers of the shrine, Akbar Ali, was quoted by the media as saying that no notices were served before authorities removed the structure.
He added that in the absence of concrete information regarding the extreme step, it seemed that the authorities were against Muslim religious personalities and their mazars and dargahs. “Maybe it is because we are Muslims and they think we are their enemies,” he said.
“Earlier on August 2, 2022, they had come and removed the tiles and the boundary wall, and so on without any reason. Next on April 26 this year, they suddenly arrived and removed everything,” said Akbar Ali.
Early in the morning when the street vendors started installing their stalls in and around the shrine as usual, they noticed that the grave was not there. Indian paramilitary forces were deployed there so that no one could assemble around the demolished shrine in protest.
Anwar Ali, another caretaker, who has looked after the site for the last 45 years, said the shrine was at least 250 years old. Both the caretakers also produced papers showing proof of land tax having been paid since the 1970s.
