The Alpasankhyak Sewa Samiti claims about legality of the construction

The Alpasankhyak Sewa Samiti claims that the mosque was built on land which was legally purchased. They also claim that it has been serving as a Sunni Muslim place of worship for more than the last 50 years.

The high court directed officials to take action against hate speech

Citing Supreme Court guidelines in the Ashwani Kumar Upadhyay Vs Union of India, the court has given emphasis on the maintenance of law-and-order situation as well as proper security of the mosque. In its ruling, the Supreme Court directed authorities to take suo motu action against hate speech, even without any complaint being filed.

The problem erupted in September this year

Earlier on September 9, an umbrella group of Hindu organization Sanyukta Sanatan Dharma Rakshak Dal Sangh, submitted a memorandum to the District Magistrate of Uttarkashi Meharban Singh Bisht. They demanded the demolition of the mosque. They also claim that it was illegal as it was not registered in the revenue records.
