Ayodhya: Iqbal Ansari, the former litigant in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid case, expressed his admiration for Prime Minister Narendra Modi ahead of the PM's visit and roadshow in Ayodhya on Sunday. Ansari stated that the last 10 years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s tenure have been very good, and he wishes to see Modi as Prime Minister again.
Speaking to the media about PM Modi’s visit to Ayodhya, his first since the Pran Pratistha ceremony, Ansari remarked, “PM Modi is fortunate that his elections are starting from Ram’s city.” Ansari, who was invited to the Ram temple consecration ceremony on January 22, 2022, was also present among the hundreds who gathered to welcome Prime Minister Modi in Ayodhya on December 30, 2021, when the latter inaugurated a redeveloped railway station and a newly built airport in Uttar Pradesh.
Ansari, a significant proponent of the Babri Masjid, was also invited to the Ram Mandir’s ‘bhoomipujan‘ ceremony on August 5, 2020.
During the bhoomi pujan ceremony, he expressed, “There is a Ganga-Jamuni-Tehzeeb in Ayodhya, and all religions are equally respected here. Maybe, it was the wish of Lord Ram that is why I have been invited to the event. There is no difference between the Hindus and Muslims residing in Ayodhya. The matter has now been resolved by the Supreme Court.”
After his father Hashim Ansari, the oldest litigant in the land dispute case, passed away at the age of 95 in 2016, Iqbal took up the case in court.
