Imam of Eidgah in Ayodhya, Samsul Qamar on Saturday sought permission to offer prayer in mosques on the last Friday of Ramzan and on the festive occasion of Eid.
Imam Qamar handed over a memorandum addressed to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and chief minister Yogi Adityanath, to city magistrate and circle officer (city) on Saturday seeking permission for a collective offering of namaz in mosques on the last Friday of the ongoing Ramzan, on May 22.
In the memorandum, Imam has pointed out that all shops in Ayodhya were open and even liquor shops were open.
So, Muslims must be allowed to offer namaz in mosques on the last Friday of Ramzan and on the occasion of Eid, which is likely to be held on May 24 or 25, said Qamar.
It may be pointed out that after the nationwide lockdown from March 25 all mosques and temples in Ayodhya are closed. Even on the nine-day long Navratra (March 25- April 2), all the temples in Ayodhya were closed and the Navratri Mela on last day of Navratra (April 2) was also cancelled.
