Pakistan troubled after BJP, Shiv Sena management aim to destroy Muhammad Ali Jinnah's property in Mumbai

After BJP MLA Mangal Prabhat Lodha required the demolition of the Mohammad Ali Jinnah's home in Mumbai, Pakistan requested Native indian to hand it over the property.
Jinnah is known as the Dad of Country in Pakistan and the nearby country has allegedly wished to take having the ancient property for a reasonable time, according to Pakistan's Secretary of state for International Matters Representative Nafees Zakaria.
The BJP MLA's reason for looking for demolition of the home was that it is a icon of Partition and the Public Works Division has been paying countless numbers of rupees to sustain it.
"The Jinnah property in Southern Mumbai was the place from where the fringe movement of the Partition was born," Lodha informed the the Maharashtra Set up last month.
Meanwhile, Zakaria said: "The Govt of Native indian should regard the ownership privileges of the Govt of Pakistan in connection with this. We also anticipate that the Native indian government will satisfy its responsibility of defending that property and its maintenance."
Lodha's comments, which brought up eye-brows of people in both Native indian and Pakistan, was sustained by the Shiv Sena MPs in Parliament. They too search for demolition of the ancient building.A Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) lawmaker, Mangal Prabhat Lodha, on Monday demanded that a residence owned by Mohammad Ali Jinnah in Mumbai be demolished and that a cultural centre be built in its place, Times of India reported.Lodha, who is a property magnate in Mumbai, was speaking at the Legislative Assembly on budgetary demands when he said: "The Jinnah residence in south Mumbai was the place from where the conspiracy of partition was hatched.""Jinnah House is a symbol of the partition. The structure should be demolished," he said.Lodha, who is a member of India's legislative assembly (MLA), claimed that the Public Works Department has to pay hundreds and thousands of Indian rupees just for the iconic building's upkeep and maintenance."The structure should be demolished and a cultural centre highlighting Maharashtra's culture and pride should be built. The cultural centre should also exhibit the glorious history of India," Lodha said.The demand was made by the BJP member in the wake of the Indian Parliament passing the controversial amendments to the Enemy Property Act 1968 earlier this month.Enemy PropertyAs per the Enemy Property Act, successors of those who migrated to Pakistan from India or China during the partition will have no claim over the properties left in India. However, Jinnah's house in Mumbai, formally named South Court, is categorised as an "evacuee property" and not an "enemy property".According to the Evacuee Property Act, 1950, an evacuee is a person who left India by March 1, 1947 on account of setting up of the dominions of Pakistan and India or due to civil disturbances or fear of such disturbances.Dina Wadia, Mohammad Ali Jinnah's only child, has been embroiled in litigation regarding the ownership of the house for the past many years. In 2010, the then 90-year old offspring of Pakistan's founding father moved the Indian High Court laying claim to the multi-million dollar mansion as his "only daughter and sole heir".Initially, Wadia fought the case against the Indian government, but a petition by a third party was filed by Jinnah's grand-nephew Mohammed Ebrahim and his son, claiming their stake to the property by citing Islamic Law which states that they were the legal heirs of Fatimah Jinnah and therefore entitled to the property.The case remains to be solved and South Court continues to remain under the Indian government's ownership.
