Varanasi: In a surprising move, a group of women have come out in support of Babri Masjid case litigant Mohammad Hashim Ansari who now desires to end the case and have Ram Lalla freed.
These women belong to Kashi, Modi's constituency and are members of Muslim Mahila Foundation and Bharatiya Awam Party. Their party Presidents, Nazneen Ansari and Najma Parveen respectively have submitted a petition to the Prime Minister requesting construction of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya.
In the petition they have said, “The construction of Ram Mandir would end hatred and strengthen Hindu-Muslim unity and harmony."
They submitted the petition in Modi's local office in Ravindrapuri Colony and also sent a copy to RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat and senior RSS functionary Indresh Kumar.
According to these women, if Muslims want to prosper and want respect from Hindus, they should take lead in constructing temple at the birthplace of Ram, as the world knows that Ayodhya belongs to Ram.
Describing Babar as Mongol invader, she wrote that his ancestor Halaku killed thousands of Muslims and Khalifa in Baghdad in 1258, and Babar sowed seeds of hatred by destroying Ram temple in 1528.
Bharatiya Awam Party president Najma Parveen said that time was ripe for Muslims to set an example of communal harmony by contributing to the construction of Ram Mandir. "No one can play with the sentiments of crores of Hindus attached with Ram," she said.
Women of MMF and BAP had campaigned for Modi during Lok Sabha Polls and also sent him rakhis.
