The district president of the Wakf board in Dakshina Kannada B A Nasir held a press conference on Saturday to address the Malali mosque issue.
“The Wakf board has stepped in to handle the Malali mosque matter. Now, the entire case will be managed through us. The high court has transferred the case to the tribunal court, and the decision came on January 31,” he said.
“As per the high court’s decision, the case will be looked into by the district court, specifically the Third Additional District and Sessions Court. Unfortunately, there is false information circulating on social media,” he said.
“The argument that Malali mosque is not a mosque but a temple is solely based on these carvings. The mention of this mosque dates back to Abbakka’s period and is documented in the book ‘Abbakka Sanakathana,’ Videsh Pravasi Kanda Abbakka Rani,” he clarified.
