Hindu Sena national president Vishnu Gupta, who filed a civil suit in an Ajmer court in Nov 2024 claiming existence of a Shiva temple underneath the dargah of Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti, on Saturday submitted that the replies filed by the dargah committee and ASI dismissing any evidence of a temple at the site be rejected. In his rejoinder filed on his plea by respondents, Union ministry of minority affairs, dargah committee and ASI-Gupta reiterated his claim of a temple at the site and the right to worship there. He described the respondents’ replies as hindering justice and untenable. The court adjourned the hearing to July 19. The ASI stated in its reply that it had no proof of any such temple.
