Shrine near the bungalows of ministers and IAS officers in Bhopal, Hindu organization said – this is ‘land jihad’

Bhopal: A shrine built in the courtyard of a government house in the very exclusive area 1250 Quarter of Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh, has created a controversy. Hindu organizations have termed it ‘land jihad’ and demanded action from the district administration. This area is located just one kilometer away from the government residences of ministers, IAS officers and more than a dozen ministers including former Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan, Deputy Chief Minister.

Chandrashekhar Tiwari, convener of Sanskriti Bachao Manch, claimed that this shrine has been built recently and called it a part of encroachment on government land. He said, “The administration should investigate it and remove it, otherwise we will protest.” At the same time, local people say that this shrine has been there for many years. Some residents living nearby said that this shrine is old and it was built by a Muslim family, which lives in this government house.

90% government houses, still the system is silent
About 90% of the houses in the 1250 quarters area are government houses, where employees from class one to clerk level live. In such a situation, the presence of a tomb in the courtyard of a government house raises questions.

Hindu organizations have submitted a complaint to the district administration, asking how this tomb was built on government land? If it is old, then how were government buildings built around it? And if it is new, then why did the administration not take action on it?

According to Hindu organizations, this tomb has been built recently, while local people claim that it is years old. To resolve this dispute, the district administration will have to investigate and clarify when and how the tomb was built. Also, the question is being raised that despite such construction in a government house, why did the administration and officials not raise any objection earlier?
