Jain Activist Fights for Right to Worship at Disputed Bhojshala Complex

A Delhi-based social activist, Salek Chand Jain, has filed a writ petition in Indore bench of Madhya Pradesh High Court. He seeks the right for Jain community members to worship at Bhojshala-Kamal Maula Mosque complex in Dhar, which he claims was previously a Jain Gurukul and temple.

Salek Chand Jain, a determined social activist from Delhi, is taking a bold stand in the Madhya Pradesh High Court, Indore bench. He has filed a writ petition for the 'right to worship' for Jain community members at the historically disputed Bhojshala-Kamal Maula Mosque complex located in Dhar.

The petition underlines that the complex was once a Jain Gurukul and temple where an idol of Goddess Ambika was installed. This week, the High Court is expected to hear the plea, which Jain's lawyer, Manohar Singh Chauhan, confirms was filed on June 29.

With the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) set to present its findings following a court-ordered survey of the 11th-century Bhojshala complex, the case comes at a crucial juncture. The site, fraught with historical claims from both Hindu and Muslim communities, is under scrutiny to resolve its true nature.
