New Delhi: Referring to the Gyanvapi Masjid case, AIMIM President Asaduddin Owaisi on Thursday attacked Yogi Adityanath-led government and said, "I have lost one Babri Masjid and I don’t want to lose another masjid". The civil court of Varanasi has ordered a re-survey of the entire part of the Gyanvapi Masjid by May 17. The court, while hearing the petition filed in this matter on Thursday, has given strict directions that FIR should be registered against those who obstruct the survey work. He also launched an attack on the BJP govt for making the national anthem mandatory in UP madrasas, saying madrassas stood against the British.
"This is a blatant violation and I hope that the All India Muslim Personal Law Board and the Masjid committee would go to the Supreme Court. I have lost one Babri Masjid and I don’t want to lose another masjid," said Owaisi.
"The order of the court is a blatant violation of the Places of Worship Act 1991. It is a violation of Supreme Court judgment given in the Babri Masjid title dispute," said Owaisi on the court's verdict.
Owaisi said about the court's decision that "The committee of the mosque and the personal law board should go to the Supreme Court against the decision."
"Yogi govt should immediately file an FIR against these people as the 1991 Act clearly says that any person who tries to change the nature of religious places that stood on 15 August 1947. If courts find them guilty, they can be imprisoned for 3 years," he added.

He also reacted to the latest decision of the UP government in which the national anthem has been made mandatory in madrassas of UP, the state Madrassa Education Board said in an order issued on Thursday.
"Yogi Adityanath&BJP do not need to give me the certificate of patriotism. When freedom struggle of the country was being fought, there was no Sangh Parivar. These madrassas stood against British," Owaisi said.
