Muslim kar sevaks get bricks to build temple
Amid talks of finding an amicable solution to the Ram Temple issue, a group of Muslim kar sevaks reached the disputed site in Ayodhya on Thursday for a ‘darshan’ of Ram Lala.
The group, led by president of Shri Ram Mandir Nirman Muslim Karsevak Manch Azam Khan, also brought a truck of bricks to donate for the construction of the Ram Temple. About four dozen Muslim kar sevaks from Basti, Gorakhpur, Maharajganj and Lucknow districts reached the entry point of the disputed site in 12 SUVs.
When they were stopped by security personnel, as the scheduled time for ‘darshan’ was over, they chanted ‘Jai Shri Ram’ and forced security forces to allow them entry. The situation was controlled when senior police officials intervened and asked the group not to press for entry.
The kar sevaks then assembled at the entry point of the disputed site and took a vow to construct the temple. They also took out a procession in the main market and met residents.
Khan said the Muslims of the country would contribute to the construction of the Ram Temple.
“Muslims do not want to see Ram Lala under a tent. They want to put an end to hatred in society and are willing to contribute in the progress of the country. It will be possible only when Muslims come forward and join hands with Hindus for the construction of the temple,” he said.
Haji Nasarullah, a group member, said they were not allowed ‘darshan’. He said they were trying to contact members of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad so that they could sit together and set the common agenda for the construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya.
