Starting january 12, the bharatiya janata party Minority Morcha intends to light diyas at notable mosques and dargahs ahead of the consecration ceremony of the ram Janmabhoomi temple in ayodhya on january 22. The national head of the bjp Minority Morcha, Jamal Siddiqui, indicated that they want to light diyas in sites like Delhi's Jama Masjid and Nizamuddin Aulia Dargah.

Siddiqui described the ram mandir inauguration as a 'great day for all Indians' and invited indian Muslims to join in the celebrations and respect the country's Ganga-Jamuni tehzeeb.

"If we want PM Modi to visit our sites and pay his respects, it is our job as Muslims to commemorate the ram Mandir's opening. "This is to respect the country's Ganga-Jamuni tehzeeb," he said to The Quint.

"I will personally go and distribute diyas to the dargahs and shrines," he went on to say.

However, members of the Jama Masjid and Nizamuddin Dargah are ignorant of the saffron party's ambitions, and no one has approached them yet. Peerzada Altamash Nizami, joint secretary of the Nizamuddin Auliya Dargah management committee, stated that political events are unsuitable in Islam.

"Anyone of any creed or political affiliation is invited to pray, but we do not host political activities. Also, we have not been asked about lighting lamps at the ram mandir," Nizami told The Quint.

Interestingly, Badruddin Ajmal, the chairman of the All india United Democratic Front (AIUDF) and an MP, recently encouraged Muslims to shun all types of travel between january 20 and january 25. He has advised Muslims to stay at home and pray to Allah throughout the season, referring to the bjp as "their biggest enemy".

On january 5, Iqbal Ansari, one of the litigants in the ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid controversy, received an invitation from the Shri ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, which is in charge of the building of ram Mandir.

When the supreme court declared in 2019 that Hindu organizations owned the disputed 450-year-old babri masjid site, Ansari stated that the Muslim community would follow the judgment.

During prime minister Modi's recent visit to the shrine town, Ansari threw rose petals on his convoy. "He has come to our location. "He is our guest and prime minister," Iqbal told PTI.

His father, Hashim Ansari, was the oldest plaintiff in the land dispute lawsuit.

Akbar Taj, a visually handicapped Muslim bhajan singer and poet from Madhya Pradesh, also received an invitation. "I visit the entire country, but I am very happy to be invited to ayodhya, especially on behalf of Ramji Bhadracharya (Hindu spiritual leader)." I'm quitting several other shows to get there."

Taj has been singing bhajans and poetry in worship of Lord ram since he was a toddler.

Over 60,000 people are scheduled to attend the ram Temple's consecration event, which will also feature prime minister Narendra Modi.
