A police case has been registered against nine people and four have been arrested. Muslim organisations have threatened protests if no one is arrested by Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Built-in the 1460s, the Mahmud Gawan Madrasa in Bidar is a designated heritage site under the Archeological Survey of India. The structure is also listed among monuments of national importance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mob broke the lock of the madrasa and entered it, the police said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They shouted &#8220;Jai Shri Ram&#8221; and &#8220;Hindu Dharam Jai&#8221; slogans, standing on the steps of the madrassa, before moving to a corner to perform a puja. Videos circulating online show a huge crowd on the steps, trying to get inside the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several Muslim organisations from Bidar have condemned the incident and held protests. They have threatened a massive protest after Friday prayers if all the accused are not arrested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Asaduddin Owaisi, the chief of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen, hit out at the state&#8217;s ruling BJP over the incident, accusing it of promoting such incidents to &#8220;demean Muslims&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Critics have accused the BJP of turning parts of the state into a crucible for communal experiments. The allegations started after the row over a hijab ban in educational institutions and spiked as Hindu groups insisted on banning Muslim traders from temple fairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In August, Ganesh Chaturthi was celebrated at Hubballi&#8217;s Idgah ground.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The mob shouted &#8220;Jai Shri Ram&#8221; and &#8220;Hindu Dharam Jai&#8221; slogans, standing on the steps of the madrassa, before moving to a corner to perform a puja.
