Lot many users are demanding strong action against the anchor for hatemongering.
On Tuesday, when the survey team came out of the mosque premises after the videography survey, the Hindu side celebrated & rejoiced over finding of Baba inside the complex.
‘Baba Mil Gaye’ was the popular slogan, following which Har Har Mahadev slogans were also raised. The Muslim petitioners opposed these claims but Court took cognizance of the matter and restricted the reservoir where Baba was found.
