Threat to 17th century old Gadag Jamia Masjid by Shri Ram Sena chief, Pramod Muthalik


A video of Pramod Muthalik, the controversial leader of the Hindu extremist Sri Ram Sena, purportedly seeking “to reclaim” the 17th century Jamia Masjid in Karnataka’s Gadag district, about 412 km from Bengaluru, like Ayodhya’s Babri Masjid went viral on social media. Muthalik is heard saying the mosque, which is among the biggest religious institutions in Gadag, was a temple that was “forcibly converted” by oppressive Muslim rulers. He said that after 72 years Babur’s Masjid got demolished and their dream of building their sacred temple was completed. In the same manner, present Jamia Masjid will meet its fate, asserted Muthalik.
