Foundation for Ayodhya mosque to be laid on Indian Republic Day Friday, December 18, 2020 IWK Bureau
On the 71st anniversary of India as a Republic, the foundation will be laid for the much-awaited mosque in Ayodhya on the five acres of land mandated by Supreme Court following the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid final verdict.
The blueprint for the mosque will be unveiled on Saturday. It will be a round-shaped structure.
The masjid will come up, 20km away from the Ram Janmabhoomi site, at Dhannipur village, exactly six months after the Sunni Waqf Board constituted the mosque trust Indo-Islamic Cultural Foundation. The Trust chose January 26, 2021, for laying the foundation of the Ayodhya mosque as on this day our Constitution came into effect more than seven decades ago. Our constitution is based on pluralism, which is the leitmotif of our mosque project, said Athar Hussain, secretary of Indo-Islamic Cultural Foundation.
