SC allows Hindu prayers at disputed Bhojshala site on Basant Panchami
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court has allowed Hindu prayers from sunrise to sunset on Basant Panchami on Friday at the disputed Bhojshala-Kamal Maula Mosque in Madhya Pradesh's Dhar district, while permitting Muslims to offer namaz from 1 pm to 3 pm on the day.
The top court on Thursday also directed that a list of persons from the Muslim community coming for namaz be given to the district administration.
Hindu and Muslim groups have sought nod for religious activities at the Bhojshala complex on January 23, a Friday when Saraswati Puja will also be held on the occasion of Basant Panchami.
