AIMIM Chief Owaisi Alleges Unjust Transfer of Vidisha Collector Amid Mosque Controversy

AIMIM President Asaduddin Owaisi has accused the Madhya Pradesh government of unjustly transferring Vidisha district collector Buddhesh Kumar Vaidya. The controversy revolves around the 11th-century Bijamandal site, with Sangh outfits claiming it as a temple and the ASI declaring it a mosque. Owaisi attributes Vaidya's transfer to his adherence to the law.

Hyderabad MP and AIMIM President Asaduddin Owaisi has alleged that the recent transfer of Vidisha district collector Buddhesh Kumar Vaidya was due to his lawful handling of a contentious issue regarding the Bijamandal site.

Owaisi stated that Sangh supporters demanded prayer access to the site, which the ASI has classified as a mosque. Vaidya, upholding this classification, faced a transfer by the BJP government.

Owaisi warned of the broader implications of the Wakf Amendment Bill, criticizing its potential to empower district collectors to act on mob demands, undermining verified evidence. The controversy has stirred significant public and political discourse.
