A century-old mosque near the residence of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Ahmedabad is facing the threat of demolition, sparking fears among the local Muslim community.
The mosque is located in the Danilimda area of Ahmedabad, a city in the western state of Gujarat. According to reports, the mosque's imam, Maulana Yacoob Patel, received an eviction notice from the local authorities, citing the mosque's proximity to a new government building.
The move has been met with resistance from the local Muslim community, who claim that the mosque has been a part of the area for generations and is an important place of worship. They argue that the government's decision to demolish the mosque is a form of religious persecution.
The Indian government has not commented on the matter, but the move has sparked concerns among human rights groups and Muslim organizations, who fear that it is part of a larger trend of targeting Muslim institutions in the country.
