The case of claiming Ajmer Khwaja Garib Nawaz Dargah to be a Shiv temple was heard in Ajmer Civil Court West on Tuesday. Where the court has fixed the date of 27th November for whether the case should be pursued or not.
This case was filed by Hindu Sena’s National President Vishnu Gupta. In which Gupta said that Ajmer Dargah used to be a Hindu Sankat Mochan temple earlier. He has also given evidence and proof of this in the claim. On which it was told that in 1910, Har Vilas Sharda’s book was published in which evidence of this was also found.
Different documents have been presented before the court and it has been demanded that along with conducting a survey of Ajmer Dargah by ASI, the recognition of the Dargah should be cancelled and the Hindu community should be given the right to worship in the temple.

The demand for survey will be fulfilled by issuing notice to the parties of the Dargah. After this, the situation will be clear in front of everyone, but now tomorrow the court will decide whether this matter is worth pursuing or not, preparations are being made for this.
