Lucknow/

Prayagraj, 20 May (HS): Following the judgment delivered on 15 May 2026 by the

Indore Bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court in the disputed Bhojshala–Kamal

Maula Mosque complex located in Dhar, Madhya Pradesh, the All India Pasmanda

Muslim Mahaz has appealed to the Pasmanda Muslim community to maintain peace,

restraint, and to follow the legal route. The organization clearly stated that

if any party has objections to a judicial verdict, it should be challenged

through constitutional and legal means in the Supreme Court. Creating a tense

atmosphere is neither in the interest of the nation nor society. The

organization also advised distancing from unnecessary political rhetoric being

made by certain Ashraf organizations, clerics, and political leaders.

Mohammad

Yunus, Chief Executive Officer, All India Pasmanda Muslim Mahaz, stated: “Pasmanda

Muslim society should not panic or feel any tension regarding this issue. We

appeal to all our Pasmanda Muslim brothers and sisters to exercise restraint,

patience, and wisdom on sensitive matters such as mosque-temple disputes. We

welcome open, fair, and constitutional dialogue so that a permanent solution

can be reached in the national interest with mutual understanding of all

parties.”

Yunus

further added, “A list of all disputed temple-mosque and shrine sites in the

country should be prepared, and responsible representatives from both sides

should jointly resolve these matters through mutual consent in the national

interest. It is not appropriate to keep the country continuously entangled in

such disputes.”

National

President of the organization, Parvez Hanif, recalled that according to the

official Gazette of the Dhar princely state dated 24 August 1935, the entire

complex was declared as the “Kamal Maula Mosque” and permission was granted to

the Muslim community to offer prayers. This decision was made during the rule

of the Pawar dynasty. The Muslim side argues that in Indian Islamic

architecture, the use of motifs such as lotus and kalash was common, and in the

Sufi-Mughal tradition, shared cultural elements were widely adopted.

The

organization stated that it is not appropriate to keep the public continuously

engaged in temple-mosque disputes. Ordinary citizens today seek serious

discussions on real issues such as education, employment, healthcare,

inflation, and social justice.

On

the auspicious occasion of Eid-ul-Adha, the All India Pasmanda Muslim Mahaz

made a special appeal that the Pasmanda Muslim community should observe

sacrifice and Eid celebrations with full peace, restraint, and responsibility,

and strengthen the spirit of brotherhood, constitutional values, and respect

for law in the country. The organization urged all citizens to avoid rumors of

any kind and maintain social harmony.
