Maybe Temple Will Be Demolished To Build Mosque, Says Imam Association Chief Sajid Rashidi
Sajid Rashidi (@ANI/Twitter)
A day after Ram Mandir's Bhoomi Pujan, Sajid Rashidi the president of All India Imam Association has said that a mosque will always be a mosque and a temple now maybe demolished to build one.
Rashidi was quoted by ANI as saying that, "Islam says a mosque will always be a mosque. It can't be broken to build something else. We believe it was, and always will be a mosque. Mosque wasn't built after demolishing temple but now maybe temple will be demolished to build mosque".
This comment by Rashidi comes on the heels of a similar threat by the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) which invoked Hagia Sofia which was recently converted to a mosque in Turkey.
AIMPLB said that the Babri Masjid was and shall always remain a mosque, and also cast aspersions on the Supreme Court's unanimous verdict.
It also went on to say that, "No need to be heartbroken. Situations don't last forever."
