Muslims have lost faith in Sunni Waqf Board over construction of mosque in Ayodhya: Muslim Jamaat president

President of All India Muslim Jamaat, Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi Barelvi on December 16 said that Muslims in India have lost faith in the Sunni Central Waff Board as it has failed to take steps to construct a mosque on the five acres of land given by the Supreme Court in Dhannipur, Ayodhya in lieu of Babri Masjid.

He also suggested that the Board invite Prime Minister Narendra Modi, instead of Macca Sharif Imam, to lay the foundation stone for the proposed mosque.

“In compliance with the Supreme Court’s order to allocate five acres of land elsewhere in Ayodhya for the construction of a mosque in lieu of the Ram Temple, the land has been allocated in Dhannipur. However, construction has not begun on this site yet, while the Ram Mandir is complete and Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be attending the consecration ceremony. Despite having permission, the Sunni Waqf Board failed to put even a brick at the mosque site,” he said.
