The Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Mahasabha today said it has established the "first Hindu court" here in reaction to a Muslim body's plan to open "Shariat courts" in all districts.
National vice president Ashok Sharma of the Mahasabha said the "Hindu court" was established yesterday on India's Independence Day with Aligarh resident Pooja Shakun Pandey as its first judge.
He said the "Hindu courts" would resolve family and other civil disputes amongst Hindus through amicable settlements.
Sharma said the "court" has been established as Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath have continuously ignored the issue of "Shariat courts."
