The ruling Indian party continues the policy of demolishing ancient mosques. The demolition of mosques, shrines, graves, and hospice of saints has become a common occurrence across India.
Hindus also attacked an Islamic cemetery in the Mohan Garden area of the city on the same night, damaging several graves. The mosque and school committee went to the Supreme Court the next day, aggrieved by the arbitrary action. The court set February 12 to hear the case, with an order being issued to the Delhi Development Authority not to dispose of the lands.
