The Muslim community is set to challenge the Madhya Pradesh High Court's recent ruling that declared the Bhojshala complex in Dhar as a temple dedicated to Goddess Saraswati. The court's decision also suggested that the Muslim community could request separate land from the state government for constructing a mosque. Ashhar Warsi, the advocate representing the Muslim side, emphasized that the court failed to consider crucial government documents and their claims during the hearings. He expressed confidence that they would present their arguments effectively before the Supreme Court. The ruling has drawn criticism from several quarters, including AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi, who remarked on the ruling's striking similarities to the Babri Masjid case. The controversy surrounding the Bhojshala complex dates back to an order issued by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) in 2003, which allowed worship by both Hindus and Muslims at the site. The High Court's decision, which followed extensive hearings on multiple petitions, reserved its judgment on May 12, 2026, highlighting the complexities of religious beliefs and historical claims surrounding the disputed site.
