Hyderabad: A day after a mob participating in a procession for Dusseha allegedly broke into the historic Mahmud Gawan Masjid and Madrasa at Bidar in Karnataka, All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Thursday alleged that the BJP is promoting such activity only to demean Mulsim.

Sharing visuals from historic Mahmud Gawan masjid and madrasa, on Twitter, AIMIM Chief and Hyderabad MP, Asaduddin Owaisi said 'extremists' broke the gate lock and attempted to desecrate.

"Visuals from historic Mahmud Gawan masjid & madrasa, Bidar, #Karnataka (5th October). Extremists broke the gate lock & attempted to desecrate.@bidar_police @BSBommai how can you allow this to happen? BJP is promoting such activity only to demean Muslims," Asaduddin Owaisi said.

A mob participating in a procession for Dussehra allegedly broke into a heritage madrasa in Bidar district of Karnataka.

They shouted slogans and even performed a puja in a corner of the building, reports UNI.

The Historic Mahmood Gawan Madrasa, constructed in the 1460s, in Bidar Karnataka is believed to be Asia’s first university, having students from across the world, the whole building except the mosque is an archeological monument.
