AYODHYA: Ayodhya Masjid Trust Secretary Athar Hussain on Saturday said the Muslim community has no negative feelings towards the consecration ceremony of Ram Lalla at the Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya.
“The Supreme Court verdict on the temple issue has been accepted by the Muslims. The Muslim community has no negative approach towards the consecration ceremony or the temple,” he said.
The Indo-Islamic Cultural Foundation Trust secretary emphasised that the unity in the country will be showcased to the world, starting with Ayodhya.
“We will share our unity and communal harmony with the world, and it will start with Ayodhya,” he said.
“We believe that our Constitution is an important pillar of our democracy. Even before the Ayodhya verdict, we had said that whatever decision comes (from SC), it will be accepted. Any Indian should not raise any question on the success of the programme of the consecration ceremony,” Hussain said.
Discussing the historical and cultural significance of the Awadh region, he mentioned the shared heritage of Hindu-Muslim unity, especially during historical events of freedom struggle in Ayodhya and Lucknow. “From Ayodhya to Lucknow, Hindus and Muslims fought shoulder to shoulder against the British and this is our story,” he said.
“Ram is also a part of this common heritage,” Hussain added.
The Masjid Trust secretary expressed hope that India will be better in the coming days.
