A day after the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) began a survey of the disputed Bhojshala Temple-Kamal Maula Mosque complex in Dhar, Abdul Samad, the petitioner for the Muslim side, said he disagreed with the exercise as directed by the high court.

Speaking to ANI on Saturday, the petitioner for the Muslim side said features at the complex have changed a lot from what they were before.

“This survey was not necessary as a similar exercise had been conducted previously and the report is in the public domain. We are against this new survey, as several new things have started here since the last survey. There have been some changes to the monument as well. We have already voiced our misgivings over these changes,” the petitioner told ANI.

“Seeing such changes and new activities in the complex, we moved the high court urging that if they allow such movement (of people from the Hindu community) inside the monument, they should lay down proper guidelines on things that could be carried inside,” he added.
