A large group of far-right Hindu bodies, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and residents gathered at Chaura Maidan in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh on Thursday, September 5 to protest against an alleged “illegal” Mosque in Sanjauli.
In a video circulating on social media, the protesters are seen holding the tricolor and saffron flags chanting inflammatory slogans like “Gol* maaro saalo ko” and “katue mulle” (derogatory terms used for Muslims).
The footage has intensified scrutiny of the protest’s tone and its potential impact on communal relations.
The other Hindutva groups gathered to recite Bhajans and Hanuman Chalisa in front of the mosque demanding its removal.
The protest led to a political debate in the Himachal Pradesh Assembly, with BJP and Congress leaders engaging in a blame game.
Ankush Chauhan, a BJP worker stated that all four floors of the Mosque were constructed illegally and no action has been taken despite the matter being pending for a decade. He also demanded an investigation into the increased population in the state, alleging they could be Rohingya or Bangladeshi.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court will hear on Friday a plea filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) against a decision of the Bombay High Court releasing former ICICI Bank chief Chanda Kochhar on bail in the alleged Videocon loan fraud case.
A bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Sanjay Kumar will take up the CBI’s special leave petition for hearing.
Earlier in February this year, the top court had disposed of the central investigative agency’s plea against the January 2023 decision of the Bombay HC granting interim bail to Kochhar.
However, it had granted liberty to the CBI to file a fresh appeal against the final decision of the High Court confirming the interim bail granted to the Kochhar couple.
In a decision pronounced on February 6, a Division Bench of Justices Anuja Prabhudessai and Nitin R. Borkar of the Bombay High Court confirmed the interim bail order passed in January last year.
“The arrest on 23.12.2022 was not on the basis of any additional material discovered in the course of the investigation but was based on the same material which was within the knowledge of the Investigating Officer at the time of issuance of notice under Section 41A. Such routine arrest without application of mind and due regard to the law amounts to an abuse of power and does not satisfy the requirement of Section 41A(3) Cr.P.C.,” said the high court, adding that the CBI failed to demonstrate the “existence of circumstances or supportive material on the basis of which the decision to arrest was taken.”
