齐尚·汗表示,他已经连续三个晚上没有睡好。事情始于周日。当时,30岁的齐尚·汗与数百名穆斯林来到印度中部乌贾因市,在一座重要清真寺外彻夜守候,以阻止该清真寺被部分拆除。拆除清真寺是为了拓宽道路,迎接每十二年举行一次的印度教朝圣节。
Zeeshan Khan says he has not slept properly for three nights in a row. It began on Sunday when the 30-year-old joined hundreds of Muslims in central India’s Ujjain city for a night vigil outside a prominent mosque to prevent its partial demolition to widen the road for a Hindu pilgrimage festival held every 12 years.
乌贾因距离中央邦首府博帕尔约200公里(124英里)。2003年以来,中央邦一直由总理纳伦德拉·莫迪领导的印度人民党执政,反对党国大党曾在中间短暂执政15个月。
Ujjain is about 200km (124 miles) from Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh state, which has been governed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) since 2003, barring a brief 15-month rule by the opposition Congress.
印度教民族主义政党印度人民党被指控蓄意针对穆斯林的宗教场所——清真寺、圣祠、墓地和伊斯兰学校——借口称这些场所要么是违法修建,要么建在原印度教寺庙遗址上。2026年9月28日,抗议者在印度中央邦乌贾因的沙阿清真寺附近示威时向警察示意。[路透社] 近年来,在多个由印度人民党执政的邦,数百处穆斯林场所被当局部分或完全拆除,其中许多拆除行动都是在深夜进行的。在许多情况下,即使相关案件仍在法院审理,拆除依然照常进行。
The Hindu nationalist BJP has been accused of a deliberate campaign to target Muslim religious structures – mosques, shrines, graveyards and madrasas (Islamic schools) – by claiming they were either illegally built or stood on former Hindu temples Protesters gesture towards police officers during a demonstration near the Shahi Masjid in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, India, September 28, 2026 [Reuters] Hundreds of Muslim sites have been partially or fully demolished by the authorities in several BJP-governed states in recent years, many of them in the dead of night. In many cases, the demolitions took place even as the matter was still pending in courts.
乌贾因的穆斯林居民同样担心清真寺会在夜间被拆,于周日晚聚集在乌贾因查特里乔克地区的沙阿清真寺外,抗议计划中的拆除行动。
The Muslim residents of Ujjain, who had similar fears of a nightly demolition, congregated outside the Shahi Mosque in Ujjain’s Chhatri Chowk area on Sunday night to protest against the planned demolition.
政府计划为2028年在基什普拉河畔举行的印度教朝圣活动“辛哈斯特哈大壶节”清理并拓宽道路。
The government aims to clear and widen the road for Simhastha Kumbh Mela, a Hindu pilgrimage to be held on the banks of the Kshipra River in 2028.
经营数字营销公司的齐尚·汗周二告诉半岛电视台:“事情大约始于两个月前。当时,乌贾因市政公司向沙阿清真寺发出通知,称由于道路需要拓宽,这座清真寺必须予以征收。”
“It started about two months ago, when the Ujjain Municipal Corporation issued a notice to the Shahi Masjid, saying that the mosque would have to be acquired because the road needed to be widened,” Khan, who runs a digital marketing business, told Al Jazeera on Tuesday.
他说,市政当局下达了9月10日的最后期限,要求“我们自己拆除该建筑”,否则政府将采取严厉行动。
He said the municipal authorities gave a September 10 deadline to “remove the structure ourselves”, failing which, the government would take strict action.

“他们的论点是,很多人将从外地赶来,公众不应面临问题。所以公共利益必须放在首位,”30岁的汗告诉半岛电视台。“用我们自己的手”随着抗议活动持续,清真寺管理方与地区当局进行了多轮讨论,迫使他们同意拆除从街道起三英尺的空间,而不是官员最初要求的七英尺以上的建筑。
“Their argument was that a lot of people would be coming from outside and that the public should not face problems. So public interest had to come first,” Khan, 30, told Al Jazeera. ‘With our own hands’As protests continued, the mosque management held several rounds of discussions with the district authorities, forcing them to agree to three feet of space from the street to be removed instead of the more than seven feet of structure originally demanded by the officials.
周日晚上,当政府将推土机开到清真寺附近时,数千人聚集在查特里广场。当局表示,一些穆斯林男子在社交媒体上发布的AI生成帖子引发了谣言,称清真寺将被拆除,从而引发了彻夜的示威活动。
On Sunday night, as the administration brought bulldozers near the mosque, thousands of people congregated at Chhatri Chowk. Authorities said AI-generated social media posts by some Muslim men caused rumours that the mosque was set to be demolished, triggering the night-long demonstration.
“但政府封锁了该区域,并对社区说:‘要么你们自己拆除清真寺,要么我们来拆’,”汗说。
“But the administration blocked the area and told the community: ‘Either you demolish the mosque yourselves, or we will demolish it’,” said Khan.
2026年9月28日,警察在乌贾因沙希清真寺附近袭击抗议者[路透社] 周一上午紧张局势升级,警察发射催泪瓦斯驱散抗议者。据媒体报道,示威者向警察投掷石块,警察对人群发动警棍攻击,至少十几人受伤。数名男子也被逮捕。
Police officers attack protesters near the Shahi Masjid in Ujjain, September 28, 2026 [Reuters] As tension flared on Monday morning, the police fired tear gas to disperse the protesters. According to media reports, the demonstrators threw stones at the police, who launched a baton attack on the crowd, in which at least a dozen people were injured. Several men were also arrested.
与此同时,随着对当局可能直接动用推土机拆除清真寺的担忧加剧,清真寺委员会同意自行拆除部分建筑。数十名穆斯林男子开始使用锤子和铁杆拆除清真寺沿线的平台。“我们亲手拆除了它,”汗说。“这让我们深感痛苦。”
Meanwhile, as fears of an outright bulldozer action on the mosque grew, the mosque committee agreed to remove a part of the structure themselves. Dozens of Muslim men began taking down the platform along the mosque, using hammers and rods. “We demolished it with our own hands,” Khan said. “It hurts us deeply.”
他补充说,周二,当局拆除了清真寺宣礼塔的一部分。“他们开始了对宣礼塔的拆除工作,但清真寺内部尚未开始任何拆除作业。”乌贾因当局已封锁了沙希清真寺周边区域,并部署了严密的安全力量。
On Tuesday, part of the mosque’s minaret was removed by the authorities, he added. “They started the demolition work on the minaret, but no such work has started inside the mosque yet.”Authorities in Ujjain have sealed the area around the Shahi Mosque and deployed heavy security.
在乌贾因局势持续紧张的背景下,一个穆斯林团体周二在首都举行抗议活动,反对“针对清真寺和宗教场所的持续行动和拆除”。该抗议活动由印度穆斯林监督委员会组织,参与者包括多名穆斯林议员和宗教领袖。
As Ujjain remained tense, a Muslim group held a protest on Tuesday in the national capital “against the continued action and demolition targeting mosques and places of worship”. Organised by the Monitoring Committee of Indian Muslims, the protesters included several Muslim parliamentarians and religious leaders.
印度伊斯兰党主席赛义德·萨达图拉·侯赛尼在一份声明中表示:“我们的问题远不止一座清真寺或一个社区。当宗教场所被拆除,或在未确保法律和宪法保护的情况下对其采取行动时,这会对法治提出严重质疑。”
“Our issue is much bigger than a single mosque or a single community. When a place of worship is demolished, or action is taken against it without ensuring legal and constitutional protections, it raises serious questions about the rule of law,” Syed Sadatullah Hussaini, president of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, said in a statement.
半岛电视台多次致电印度人民党在中央邦的两名发言人,均未获回应。
Several calls made by Al Jazeera to two BJP spokespersons in Madhya Pradesh went unanswered.
总部位于新德里的慈善机构创始人阿西夫·穆贾塔巴告诉半岛电视台,自印度人民党执政以来,许多穆斯林将拆除行动与该国更广泛的政治环境联系起来。
Asif Mujtaba, founder of a New Delhi-based charity, told Al Jazeera that many Muslims connect demolition drives with the broader political environment in the country since the BJP came to power.
他说:“人们将这些拆除行为与政治话语、围绕清真寺的竞选活动、对伊斯兰学校的压力以及围绕穆斯林机构的反复争端联系在一起。”“人们看到自己的历史正从这座城市中消失。”
“People link these demolitions with the language used in politics, with campaigns around mosques, with pressure on madrasas and with repeated disputes around Muslim institutions,” he said. “People see their history disappearing from the city.”
