The Lal Masjid administration has ‘reclaimed’ land that once housed Jamia Hafsa and a children’s library. The mosque administration has installed a signboard on the land next to the mosque, calling it their property, while the Capital Development Authority (CDA) has remained silent.
The Jamia Hafsa building and the library were demolished by the government following the military operation in 2007.

CDA yet to respond to signboard installed on plot adjacent to mosque
After the operation, the government and the mosque administration, led by Deobandi cleric Abdul Aziz, reached an agreement under which the CDA would provide an alternative site for the reconstruction of Jamia Hafsa. The CDA has allotted 20 kanals of land for this in H-11, and construction is ongoing.
However, the Lal Masjid administration recently installed a board on the site, claiming that the land was the mosque’s property.
