"Telling a few Muslims that they cannot pray there is not adverse possession," said Dhavan.
"My emphasis under Islamic law as Your Lordships have laid down is that even if there is no dedication but it is used, it is good enough to be recognised as a Masjid," he added.
Dhavan also questioned, "How can Muslim rulers be termed illegitimate for building a mosque? Why are we rewriting history whenever new govt comes to power?"
He also claimed that the Hindu party does not have the required knowledge and expertise to delegitimise a ruler.
"Aurangazeb was one of the most liberal rulers," he added.
