Mosque came 1st, collectorate later: Owaisi after mosque razed in UP

After an alleged illegal mosque inside District Magistrate’s office complex in Uttar Pradesh's Saharanpur was demolished, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi said, "Does...constitutional guarantee of freedom of religion no longer apply to Muslims?" "Why is it that our places of worship are constantly bulldozed on flimsy grounds?" Owaisi added. "The mosque came first, the collectorate later," he stated.
