Asaduddin Owaisi criticizes the court-ordered survey of Sambhal's Shahi Jama Masjid, emphasizing the redundancy of the survey due to the Places of Worship Act. He argues such issues divert attention from pressing national problems.

The petition was moved by the Management Committee of the Mughal-era mosque, which Hindus claim was built by destroying a Hindu temple.

The petition contends that the survey at Sambhal's Jama Masjid, ordered by a civil judge, was conducted hastily and could lead to communal tensions, jeopardizing the secular fabric of the country.

The Uttar Pradesh government on Thursday ordered a judicial probe into the Sambhal violence case, a day before the Supreme Court is set to hear a plea against the Mosque survey order.

The plea noted that the survey has triggered communal tensions in the region and it should be halted as soon as possible.
