The Story in Brief
Hindu Raksha Dal will visit Darul Uloom in Deoband on Tuesday to offer Ganga water, alleging a Shivling exists beneath the Islamic seminary. The outfit's Uttarakhand president Lalit Sharma said the group, led by national president Pinky Chaudhary, will travel from Haridwar. Sharma claimed the Saharanpur administration ignored their earlier complaint seeking an inquiry.
Deoband Circle Officer Amit Kumar Singh warned that no one will be allowed to disturb law and order, and legal action will follow any disruption. Darul Uloom Deoband, founded in 1866, is one of South Asia's most influential Islamic seminaries.
The Indian Opinion
The claim of a Shivling beneath Darul Uloom echoes the pattern of unverified assertions that have sparked temple-mosque disputes elsewhere. Yet painting the entire seminary or its supporters as hostile is equally unfair. The police have rightly warned against any disturbance. The real test is whether the administration orders a proper archaeological survey, or dismisses the complaint as baseless. Without evidence, this remains just a political stunt.
