taj belongs to gov of india

Muslim Taj Mahal claim rejected from bbc

update on "making another mess" i just posted :P

"Calling the board's claim baseless, Law Minister H R Bharadwaj said the monument was Indian national property."

so it is money matters not religious after all!!!!!!

"It has been governed, managed and maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) since 1920.
The Waqf Board had claimed that the building was being neglected, a charge the government rejects.
"There is no need for any other body to look after the monument as the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) is taking care of it quite well," Mr Bharadwaj said.
If the Sunni Waqf Board were to succeed in its bid to become the owner of the monument, it would get 7% of the income from the building by law. "
