New Delhi, Dec 22 (PTI) A plea has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking directions to restrain Prime Minister Narendra Modi from offering a ceremonial ‘chadar’ at the Ajmer Sharif Dargah.
The matter was mentioned before a vacation bench of Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi. “No listing today,” the bench said. The court asked advocate Barun Sinha, appearing for petitioners Jitender Singh and others, to approach the Registry.
The plea contends that the practice of the Prime Minister offering a chadar at the Ajmer Dargah of Moinuddin Chishti, initiated by Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru in 1947 and continued since, has no legal or constitutional basis. It further states that historical records link Moinuddin Chishti with foreign invasions that conquered Delhi and Ajmer, resulting in mass subjugation and conversions of the native population—actions allegedly contrary to India’s sovereignty, dignity, and civilisational ethos.
