Days after the Ayodhya mosque project was formally launched on Republic Day, Hyderabad MP and All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen(AIMIM) President Asaduddin Owaisi made sensational comments on the project.
Addressing an event in Bidar, Owaisi termed the Ayodhya mosque project haraam and urged Muslims not to donate for the project construction or offers prayers there.
The Hyderabad MP went on to say that the mosque is un-Islamic and alleged that the religious scholars and All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) ulemas are in the same opinion.
Owaisi’s shocking comments on Ayodhya mosque did not go well with the Ayodhya Mosque Trust, Indo-Islamic Cultural Foundation (IICF). The body hit back at the MP’s comments.
IICF Secretary Athar Hussain lashed out at Owaisi and claimed that he is making such sensational comments with a political agenda. A land where prayers are offered to Allah cannot be haraam.
Media reports claimed that the secretary of the Ayodhya Mosque Trust took a dig at Owaisi and alleged that the ancestors of the MP didn’t take part in the 1857 revolt against the British.
