LUCKNOW – After Supreme Court verdict in the favor of temple, Uttar Pradesh Shia Central Waqf Board chairman Wasim Rizvi on Thursday announced he is donating Rs. 51,000 for the construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya.
Rizvi said the Board favoured the construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya and the Supreme Court judgment on the decades-old contentious issue is the “best verdict” that could have been possible.
In a unanimous verdict, the Supreme Court on Saturday cleared the way for the construction of a Ram temple at the site in Ayodhya where the Babri Masjid once stood and directed the Centre to allot a separate five-acre plot to the Sunni Waqf Board to build a mosque. The judgment was criticized by many experts including two former Supreme Court judges Markandey Katju and AK Ganguly.
“Now preparations are on for the construction of a grand temple at the Ram Janmasthan. Since Lord Ram is the ancestor of all of us, Muslims also, Rs. 51,000 on behalf of the ”Wasim Rizvi Films” is being given to Ram Janmabhoomi Nyas towards temple construction,” Rizvi was quoted by the PTI as saying.
He also said that whenever the temple is built, Shia Waqf Board will help in its construction and Ram temple in Ayodhya is a matter of pride for ”Rambhakts” world over and also in India.
