Islamabad: As the consecration ceremony of the Bhavya Ram Mandir in Ayodhya draws closer, videos insulting the temple and undermining its significance have started going viral on the internet. In one such video, former Pakistan cricket captain Javed Miandad is seen claiming that the new Ram Temple will turn Hindus into Muslims.

“Those Hindus visiting the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya will come out as Muslims. It is our firmly held belief that our faith (Islam) will shine its light on those who visit places that are connected to our roots. Modi may have done wrong by getting the Ram Mandir built in Ayodhya, but it will work as a blessing in disguise for us. I have full faith in Allah that this will be the place from where Muslims will once again rise,” Miandad says.

Notably, Miandad released the video three years ago on August 8, 2020, three days after the Bhoomi Poojan of the historic Ram Mandir, which was performed by PM Modi. Strikingly, the video has gone viral on social media months ahead of the Pran Pratishtha ceremony planned at the newly constructed Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. According to reports, the consecration (Pran Pratishtha) ceremony is expected to take place on January 22 next year.

The Ram Mandir construction committee chairperson Nripendra Mishra recently asserted that the construction of the ground floor of the three-story Ram Mandir in Ayodhya will be completed by the end of December this year.

In an interview, Mishra said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to take part in an event related to the “pran pratishtha” on any day between January 20 to 24 next year. However, he added that the Prime Minister’s Office has yet to communicate the final date.

According to the Chief Priest of Ram Mandir, Acharya Satyendra Das Ji Maharaj, the rituals will be held from January 15 to January 24. A letter was written to the PMO on their behalf, and a reply has also been received. Now, it has been decided that Prime Minister Modi will arrive in Ayodhya on the 22nd of January and will take part in the Pran Pratishtha ceremony. Prominent seers, eminent personalities, and scores of devotees have been invited to this consecration ceremony.
