Belagavi South MLA Abhay Patil has urged the Deputy Commissioner of the district to initiate a survey at the site of a mosque in order to ascertain whether it was built over a temple.
Speaking to press persons in Belagavi on Saturday, Mr. Abhay Patil referred to an old mosque near Ramdev Galli, which he said had semblance to a temple and according to the elders, there existed a temple before a mosque was built.
Mr. Patil said that the structure and pillars in the mosque had semblance to pillars of a temple. There were stone doors and big pillars and the district administration should initiate survey and the general feeling was that it should be handed back to the Hindus.
