Indian Express·2h ago·Neutral
What Happened
The Madhya Pradesh High Court started daily hearings on the disputed Bhojshala-Kamal Maula Mosque complex in Dhar district Monday. Hindu petitioners argue the site is a Saraswati temple based on Archaeological Survey of India reports and historical evidence. Muslim groups claim it as a mosque. The court instructed advocates to provide research-based arguments rather than general perceptions. An ASI survey examined the site's historical features. Since 2003, Hindus perform puja Tuesdays; Muslims pray Fridays.
