Reiterating his call to take action on the mosques built on government land in Delhi, Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP) MP Parvesh Sahib Singh has called on Lieutenant Governor (LG) Anil Baijal, reports The Hindu.
The MP has submitted a list of 54 mosques and graveyards which were allegedly built in an unauthorised manner on government land across his constituency of West Delhi.
Parvesh had appraised the LG last month about the ever mushrooming mosques and graveyards on the government land, roadsides and other vacant spaces causing unacceptable menace.
“The LG has assured me of action at the earliest and, in my presence, issued orders for the survey I have been demanding to establish the circumstances on the ground,” Parvesh said.
Based on Verma’s charge, the Delhi Minorities Commission (DMC) had on 24 June set up a five-member fact-finding committee headed by social activist Ovais Sultan Khan.
The MP asked to form dedicated committees with district magistrates and officials concerned for conducting official surveys in the matter.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
