NDA's prime ministerial candidate LK Advani, who recently favoured Ram Temple at Ayodhya without disturbing communal harmony, has got support from unexpected quarters - the Imams of India.
Imams have thrown in their weight behind Advani saying his formula would "only establish permanent fraternal bonds between the two major communities of India". "And, in that case, as a society, we shall also experience and cherish unprecedented communal amity and harmony," the All India Organisation of Imams of Mosques (AIOIM) wrote in a letter to the Leader of the Opposition. AIOIM is the representative body of over five lakh Imams across the country.
The basic issue here is construction of Ram Temple. Courts have not decided it in last 63 yrs and nothing can get better than this when the 2 parties r ready for this.
I could have put this article under the discussion of 'Ram Mandir'.
At the same time, there is basic assumption here that BJP as part of NDA would be the winning party and Advani will be the PM. And that's why, I put this article here. I think we don't have to be paranoid about the support and read too much between the lines or go back on past experience. 'Aam aadmi' coined by a Muslim firm in UK got the Cong better of BJP in last election and if that is coming to BJP side as along with Ram Mandir, it is welcome move.
