Bengaluru, January 16: The Belagavi Municipal Corporation has issued a notice to close the controversial Fathima Mosque constructed in a residential area in Karnataka’s Belagavi district.
The notice by the corporation was issued less than a week after the chief of the pro-Hindu organisation, Sri Ram Sene, Pramod Muthalik, threatened to barge into the mosque with the group’s members and demolish it if action wasn’t taken within seven days.
A notice with directions to shut down the mosque at Sarathi Nagar was issued by the Commissioner of Municipal Corporation of Belagavi District to the Wakf Board Officer.
Less than a week ago, on January 16, Pramod Muthalik, chief of Sri Ram Sene, alleged that the construction of the Mosque in a residential area in Beagavi was done in violation of the land norms.
He further gave the corporation a one-week deadline to demolish the mosque and said that he would go with his team to demolish the mosque if the municipal body failed to take action.

Land has been transferred to Waqf Board. As per the Law, once a property becomes Waqf, it will always stay Waqf.
Pramod Muthalik said, “I'm telling this to the Belagavi Municipal Corporation. If you don't demolish the mosque within one week, we from Sri Rama Sene will raise the slogan ‘Sarathi colony chalo’ to demolish the mosque. Let us see which force will stop us.”
“You keep telling us to follow the law. You're so low. Even though there are records, you do hooliganism. Municipal Corporation Commission, you are here for justice and law, not for Congress or Islam. If you're working, stay. Otherwise, you should resign and leave,” added the chief of the Sri Ram Sene.
