Historian Dr Anupam Singh, a resident of Moradabad district of Uttar Pradesh, made a claim on the issue of Shahi Jama Masjid and Harihar Mandir of Sambhal by showing the gazetteer of 1968. He said that earlier there used to be a temple at this place, which was later converted into a mosque. Which is recorded in the records of 1968. However, this matter is still going on in the court and is controversial.

Jama Masjid of Sambhal is often in the headlines. It has been claimed that Jama Masjid is Harihar temple. It is being claimed that there are signs of a temple in the mosque. When Moradabad historian Dr. Anupam was talked to about this matter, he told that the register of Moradabad district of Uttar Pradesh was prepared in 1968. In this government gazetteer, Harihar temple is written above the picture of the main council of Sambhal Jama Masjid. He says that whatever decision will be taken in the court, he will completely agree with it. But to know the truth, it is necessary to take the help of historians and the team of the Archaeological Department.

What is in the 1968 Gazetteer?

President's rule was imposed in Uttar Pradesh in 1968. Then a gazetteer of Moradabad district was issued. This gazetteer was prepared by IAS officer Isha Basanti Joshi and the Uttar Pradesh government got it published from Allahabad Government Press in 1968. At that time, President's rule was imposed in Uttar Pradesh, which worked under the Congress.

Last copy of gazetteer

Dr. Anupam Singh informed that he has the last copy of the gazetteer of Moradabad district published in 1968. He had taken this copy from Allahabad, on the basis of which he has claimed that Shahi Jama Masjid is Harihar Temple. However, he also called this matter controversial and also said that whatever decision the court will take, he will agree with it and respect it.
