A delegation from the Association for Protection of Civil Rights (APCR) Rajasthan Chapter visited Bijaynagar, Beawar. It included National Assistant Coordinator Advocate M. Huzaifa, Assistant Coordinator Prakriti, General Secretary Muzammil Rizvi, and Assistant Coordinator Rabbe Khan.
They met Jama Masjid and Cemetery Committee officials, who shared concerns about the municipality declaring the masjid and cemetery illegal and demanding documents. APCR advised legal action and urged judicial recourse.
Following APCR’s intervention, the municipality had to respond per Supreme Court guidelines. The Masjid Committee received 15 days to clarify its stance. APCR also filed petitions in the Waqf Tribunal and High Court Jaipur to safeguard the mosque and cemetery.
APCR strongly opposed the administration’s one-sided action and demanded an immediate halt to the bulldozer drive. Notices were issued to accused families in the blackmailing case and the Jama Masjid on alleged encroachment grounds. APCR questioned the timing, suspecting ulterior motives.
APCR State President Advocate Syed Saadat Ali condemned the administration’s haste, calling it a violation of the Supreme Court guidelines. He denounced attempts to communalise the incident and clarified APCR’s non-support for blackmailing or violence.
State Gen-Sec. Muzammil Rizvi stressed the need for a sensitive, fair approach, condemning police inaction.
