Ajmer Dargah Demands Action Against Hindu Shakti Dal Chief For Calling Moinuddin Chishti 'Rapist'

ajmer dargah demands action against hindu shakti dal chief for calling moinuddin chishti ‘rapist’

Ajmer: Hindu Shakti Dal president Simran Gupta allegedly claimed that the ‘Jannati Darwaja’ of the Ajmer Dargah was built after demolishing an ancient Shiva Temple. The remark drew massive flak and Ajmer Dargah ‘khadims’ demanded strict action against him.

Simran Gupta allegedly used derogatory language and said Moinuddin Chishti was a “rapist” and “terrorist”. He had even submitted a memorandum to the district administration, demanding a survey of the dargah by the Archeological Survey of India (ASI).

Sarwar Chishty, president of a body of ‘khadims’ of Ajmer Dargah, wrote a letter to Ajmer SP demanding Gupta’s arrest over his objectionable comment.

“It is very unfortunate and disgraceful that the members of fringe organisation ‘Hindu Shakti Dal’ deliberately, as per a well-planned criminal conspiracy, made a hate-speech filled with offensive remarks and extremely objectionable defamatory statements against Khawaja Gharib Nawaz within the premises of Ajmer Collectorate campus,” PTI quoted Sarwar Chishty.

He further raised objections to lack of action and alleged that concerned authorities did not take any preventive steps or any action against Hindu Shakti Dal members. A delegation from Ajmer Dargah on Tuesday met Rajasthan State Minority Commission chairman Rafeeq Khan, who later met the state’s DGP U R Sahoo to urge him to take action in the matter.

There is a multi-fold rise in rumour mongering, twisted historical facts, misinformation, abusive, insulting and defamatory comments on Khawaja Gharib Nawaz, and Dargah Ajmer Sharif ‘khadims’ as well as the Muslim community.

“Shockingly, despite our written complaint along with documentary and electronic evidence, and multiple FIRs, no one has been arrested by police so far for curbing hate speech and maintaining social harmony and peace,” he said.

He added that a demonstration will be held if stringent legal action is not taken immediately and the accused persons are not arrested within a week.

Circle officer Dargah Gauri Shankar told PTI that two FIRs have been registered in connection with the statement of Simran Gupta made nearly a week ago and the matter is being investigated.

On Tuesday, Rajasthan State Minority Commission on Tuesday asked Ajmer’s district collector to submit a report in seven days over ‘objectionable remarks’ made by a leader of a right wing group against Khawaja Moinuddin Chishti of Ajmer Dargah.
