Vehicles are being checked regularly. Our teams are also patrolling the ghats and other areas. There are separate teams for security checking and monitoring as well as crowd management.”

KK Muhammad, former regional director of Archaeological Survey of India, has appealed for restraint on the temple-mosque controversy. Also, there has been talk from his side of keeping three religious places in the discussion. These include Ram Janmabhoomi, Mathura and Gyanvapi.

‘These places should be handed over to Muslims’
KK Muhammad has suggested to Muslims that these places should be handed over to Hindus. Apart from this, one should avoid making claims now, otherwise these problems will never end. This statement of the former regional director has come at a time when many petitions are pending in the courts of the country regarding claims on different religious places.

Speaking to India Today, Muhammad said that Ram Janmabhoomi, Mathura and Gyanvapi are as important for Hindus as Mecca and Medina are for Muslims.

What did you say on Ayodhya dispute?
The former officer told that he was involved in the excavation of Babri Masjid under the leadership of Bibi Lal in 1976. The controversy also grew due to a Muslim communist historian, who convinced the official to refuse to accept the evidence of a temple beneath the mosque.

He said that at that time the Muslim community was in favor of resolving the issue regarding permission to build the temple. He also claimed that the historian was not an archaeologist, he was not even present during any kind of excavation. He spread a lot of false things in this regard.

Claim on Taj Mahal rejected
The former officer has rejected the claims of Taj Mahal and said that it is a complete lie. Muhammad told that this was the palace of Raja Man Singh, after which it was transferred to Jai Singh and then to Shahjahan. Its supporting documents are preserved in Bikaner and Jaipur museums. However, he has said that the demands from the government regarding cultural heritage have not been fulfilled. This is a dark phase of the Archaeological Survey of India.

However, ASI Director General Yadubir Rawat has rejected his claim and said that ASI is doing a lot of work. We have enough budget. We also have thousands of monuments to manage. It is not understandable that some people have raised issues after retirement. But why did he not raise it when he was in service? ASI does not support any political party. The job of the organizations is to find out and collect documents. They have to do the documents.
