Communal tension is known to have arisen earlier in June 2022 due to the threat of Hindutva groups to enter and worship in a mosque located in the city of Srirangapatnam in the Mandya district of Karnataka.
Hindutva groups had claimed that the Jamia Masjid in Srirangapatna Fort was built after the demolition of the Hanuman temple. According to the Archaeological Survey of India, Persian inscriptions on the mosque say that Tipu Sultan built this mosque called Masjid-e-Ala in 1782 AD.
Let us tell you that before this incident, some Hindu activists handed over a memorandum asking the district administration to conduct a similar survey, as was done in Gyanvapi Masjid in Varanasi.
