The people were initially not allowed to offer prayers at the site of demolished mosque.<\/p>\n<p>About 2,000 personnel of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Rapid Action Force (RAF) and Delhi Police kept guard at Jangpura to avoid any untoward incident.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday morning, the DDA demolished the mosque, triggering unrest with thousands of people gathering daily to raise slogans and the security authorities blockading the entire main road.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have asked the government to give the land to the Wakf board. Anyone demolishing another\u2019s house is always sad. Then, this is a religious structure,\u201d said Bukhari, as the assembled gathering nodded their heads.<\/p>\n<p>Bukhari said he had held meetings with Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and Urban Development Minister S. Jaipal Reddy, and both had supported rebuilding of the mosque. \u201cBut, I don\u2019t trust the government, and that\u2019s why I am here,\u201d Bukhari.After the prayers, some 40-50 people attempted to rebuild the boundary wall, by placing bricks, but without any cement.<\/p>\n<p>Some of those gathered placed a bedsheet on the ground, asking for donations. Within a few minutes, currency notes and coins blanketed the piece of cloth.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Bukhari had raised this issue at the Friday prayers at Delhi\u2019s biggest mosque, Jama Masjid, after which the crowd had spilled onto the crowded Daryaganj road.<\/p>\n<p>For over two hours in the afternoon, Netaji Subhash Marg in central Delhi was blocked as people raised slogans against the demolition. Stones were also pelted at parked cars, but the situation was brought under control, with senior area police officers stationed at the spot.<\/p>\n<p>The traffic police had to issue advisories about the blockade of traffic at Nizamuddin and Daryaganj.<\/p>\n<p>A protest march was also held at Seelampur in east Delhi. The people marched to the office of the district police chief, chanting slogans against the demolition of the mosque.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the DDA filed a compliance report before the Delhi High Court stating that it had recovered 350 square metres of its land after demolition of the mosque.<\/p>\n<p>The Delhi Wakf Board had also approached a division bench of the Delhi High Court, stating that the land belonged to them.<\/p>\n<p>But, they withdrew the petition after they were castigated by the court for not filing the petition as per proper legal procedures.<\/p>\n<p>A DWB official told that a fresh petition may be filed next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thousands of Muslims offered Friday prayers at the site of a mosque in south Delhi that was demolished by the authorities for being built on public land, as protests were held at three places in the capital, including the walled city, against the demolition.Around 1,500 people, including Syed Ahmed Bukhari, the Shahi Imam of Jama [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[84],"tags":[2018,1269],"class_list":["post-8287","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-criminal-law-news","tag-demolished","tag-mosque"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Thousands offer Friday prayers at site of demolished mosque  - Legal News India - Supreme Court &amp; High Court Updates<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Thousands of Muslims offered Friday prayers at the site of a mosque in south Delhi that was demolished by the authorities for being built on public land, - Get the latest legal news from the Supreme Court, High Courts, and government.
