All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi has called for the direct intervention of India’s Home Minister Amit Shah to halt the demolition and removal of Muslim religious structures in Rajasthan’s border districts. In a message posted on social media platform X on June 21, Owaisi alleged that local administrations in several border districts were deliberately targeting mosques, madrasas, and dargahs for demolition.

Citing information from AIMIM’s Bikaner district president Shafi Jamil Qasmi, Owaisi stated that four mosques and dargahs in Bikaner and nine more in Phalodi, Jaisalmer, and Barmer had already been demolished. He also claimed that eviction notices had been issued against more than a hundred other religious sites. According to Owaisi, the authorities justified the operations on national security grounds, first alleging that the structures were built on grazing land and later citing approval and documentation issues.

Owaisi described the demolitions as discriminatory and unlawful, urging Amit Shah to take immediate action to stop them. As of now, neither the Rajasthan state government nor the Union Home Ministry has issued an official response.
