NEW DELHI: In a letter to lieutenant governor Anil Baijal,

BJP MP Parvesh Sahib Singh has claimed that “mushrooming of mosques on vacant plots was disrupting traffic and causing inconvenience to the people.”

Singh urged the

to check the “menace” and demanded that a multi-agency committee should be constituted to conduct a survey of the areas where such mosques have come up on government land, roads and secluded places and pinpoint the responsibility after proper inquiry. He said the panel could be formed with representatives from municipal corporations,

,

, among other agencies.

In the letter, he said, “According to a peculiar type of trend seen in certain parts of my constituency in particular, but prevailing in whole Delhi, mosques are mushrooming on government land, roads, and secluded places. These structures not only hamper the smooth flow of traffic, but are a great cause of inconvenience to the public in general.” He hoped that the LG will take the matter seriously.
