Muslim leaders want PM Modi to lay foundation of Ayodhya mosque

A section of the Muslim community has made an appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to lay the foundation stone of the mosque in Dhannipur village of Sohawal tehsil, about 25 km away from here, when he visits the holy town on January 22 for the consecration ceremony of Ram Temple. "Modi is India's PM. He is for Hindus and Muslims both. If he is coming to inaugurate the 'ibadatgaah' of Hindu brothers, then he should also lay the foundation for the masjid," said Mufti Hisbullah Badshah Khan.
