Summary The Muslim villagers offered every kind of help to the Hindus.
BIHAR (Daily Dunya) - Amid incidents of attacks on Muslims by Indian cow vigilante groups, Muslim villagers in Bihar have set a great example of religious harmony by donating funds and land for an old Hindu temple.
Hindu villagers from Bakhri village in central Bihar’s Begusarai district were facing difficulty in praying due to the dilapidated condition of the temple and escalated number of people during special events.
The villagers were keen to renovate the temple but were facing financial crisis.
However; the Muslim villagers came forward after getting information of the issue and offered every kind of help.
According to Gulf News India, Mohammad Tuffail Ahmad, Mohammad Salim and Qari Ahmad donated land for temple expansion; there were others from the community who happily donated money. Moreover, some also decided to give their time to help construction along.
Local district superintendent of police Ranjit Kumar Mishar praised the efforts of Muslim villagers and said: “You have set a new example for the society through your act of communal harmony. We salute your gesture.”
Earlier in 2015, Muslim villagers donated a land to help build the world’s largest Hindu temple with a capacity to seat as many as 20,000 worshippers.
“Muslims have not only donated land but they have also provided land at nominal rate for [the] construction of world’s largest Hindu temple. But for their help, it would have been difficult for us start the project,” Acharya Kishore Kunal, secretary of cash-rich Mahavir Mandir Trust, which is undertaking the temple construction project, has gone on record to say.
