MP: Mazar in govt residential building sparks row in Bhopal, Hindu organisations call it 'land jihad'

A controversy has erupted in Madhya Pradesh over what Hindu organisations are calling a case of "land jihad" after a mazar (Muslim shrine or mausoleum) has allegedly been found in a government residential building in Bhopal. The dispute centres around two mosques built within the premises of a government house located in one of the city’s most high-profile VVIP areas. It has raised eyebrows after it was discovered that they were built inside the courtyard of a government-allocated residence in the 1,250 Quarters area. This locality is known for housing senior government officials, from Class I officers to clerks.
