NEW DELHI: The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) on Tuesday opposed a plea before a Delhi court seeking restoration of Hindu and Jain deities inside the Qutub Minar complex, saying it is not a place of worship and the existing status of the monument cannot be altered.
The ASI also said that it would be contrary to the law to agree to the contention of any person claiming a fundamental right to worship in this centrally protected monument.
The ASI, however, said that the architectural materials and images of Hindu and Jain deities were reused in the construction of the Qutub complex.
Additional District Judge Nikhil Chopra reserved the order on the plea for June 9.
“Fundamental right cannot be availed in violation of any status of the land. The basic principle of protection conservation is not to allow starting of any new practice in a monument declared and notified as a protected one under the Act,” the ASI said.
It said that revival of worship was not allowed wherever it was not practised at the time of protection of a monument.
