Ajmer Dargah Row: Immature to Comment Until Case Reaches Hearing Stage: BJP leader Rajendra Rathore

Jaipur: Amid the controversy surrounding claims that the Ajmer Dargah was built over a Shiva temple, former Leader of Opposition and BJP leader Rajendra Rathore, on Sunday, said it was immature to comment on anything until the case reached the hearing stage in the court.  

"It would not be appropriate to take this matter forward now. Whatever decision the court will take, everyone will have to accept it. Until any case reaches the hearing stage, it is immature to say anything," he told reporters during his Ajmer visit on Sunday.

A local court in Ajmer, known worldwide for the dargah visited by thousands of devotees cutting across religious lines every day, issued notices seeking the responses of the dargah committee, the Union government and the ASI on Wednesday.

The notices were issued on a petition that claimed the dargah was built over a Shiva temple, a claim that has sparked controversy.

Rathore, in a press conference in the circuit house, described the decisions taken by the BJP government in the state as historic.

The BJP leader said that the Cabinet on Saturday approved the Rajasthan Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Bill 2024.

"This bill was awaited for a long time," he said. (with PTI inputs)
