A delegation of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) on Thursday met Delhi Waqf Board officials and submitted a memorandum seeking urgent intervention in the matter concerning the Race Course Road mosque and adjoining graveyard.
The delegation urged the board to take necessary legal steps to protect the religious site and seek interim protection against any demolition until the relevant records and legal claims are examined by the competent authority.

In the memorandum addressed to the board’s chief executive officer, AIMIM Delhi unit president Shoaib Jamai cited a Delhi Gazette notification dated September 8, 1977, which, he said, records the mosque and graveyard at the site, covering approximately two bighas.
The memorandum called on the board to examine and challenge the reported demolition proceedings, provide the mosque committee with the necessary authorisation and documents to pursue legal remedies, and preserve relevant Waqf, gazette and revenue records.
AIMIM members also staged a protest outside the Waqf Board office against what they described as the CEO’s negative response on the matter.
