Tension in Saharanpur After Mosque Demolition
In a village in India, a partly built mosque was torn down by the government because they said it was built without permission.
Local politicians from the Congress party visited the area and called for calm.
They said the demolition wasn't done correctly.
The politicians said that under the law, you just need to tell the authorities you are building something, not ask for their permission.
The people affected by this are planning to take the issue to the highest courts to challenge the demolition.
