Ayodhya¡¯s Shri Sita Ram Temple Hosts Iftar During Ramzan, Spreads Message Of Communal Harmony

The Ram Janambhoomi and Babri Masjid case has proven to be a boundless battleground for religious and political conflicts. The issue makes a comeback ahead of every election season.

Amidst the communal tension that perpetually surrounds the area, Shri Sita Ram temple in Ayodhya decided to do something to uphold harmony. It hosted an Iftar meal on May 20, in its premises. Hindus and Muslims sat together to relish the Iftar meal in the premises of the temple.

The priest of the temple Yugal Kishor told ANI, "This is the third time we have organised an Iftar party. I will continue to do the same in the future as well. We should celebrate every festival with great zeal."

Showing the similar sentiments, an attendee Mujammil Fiza said that he also celebrates Navratri with his Hindu friends every year. "People with an agenda do not want communities to come together and hold an event like this. In a country where people play politics in the name of religion, people like Yugal Kishor send out a message of love," he added.

During the holy month of Ramzan, the Muslim community fasts for about 30 days and does not consume food or water from dawn to dusk. Their day starts with a Sehri (a pre-dawn meal) and ends with Iftar - post-dawn meal.

Love, compassion and humanity stand head and shoulders above everything else in the world. Incidents like this one ensure that we do not lose sight of what is right.
