Amid protests in various parts of Himachal Pradesh questioning the legality of mosques, state PWD minister Vikramaditya Singh has emphasised the need to bring transparency and reforms in the Waqf Board. "Various questions are being raised, first in Shimla, then in Mandi, Kangra and in Shillai yesterday and in Kullu," the minister said.
Meanwhile, Hindu outfits and villagers in Una district carried out a protest march and submitted a memorandum to the deputy commissioner seeking demolition of an under-construction mosque in Basoli village within a week.
The villagers questioned the intention behind constructing the mosque when not even a single Muslim family resides in the village.
