Sambhal (UP), Nov 18 (PTI) Shahi Jama Masjid committee president Zafar Ali has opposed the proposed march by Harihar Sena around the periphery of the disputed Shahi Jama Masjid-Harihar temple site scheduled for Wednesday, calling it an “unlawful” attempt to introduce a new practice, even as authorities are yet to decide on giving permission.

Ali urged the administration to refuse permission, citing the “sensitive situation” and the need to preserve peace.

Rishi Raj Giri, mahant of Kela Devi temple and founder of the International Harihar Sena, has announced a one-day “Harihar Mandir Padyatra” on November 19, during which devotees plan to cover a 2.5-km circumambulation route around the disputed complex. Show Full Article
