LUCKNOW: An offer through a committee of the Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) to position up an enormous statue of Lakshman, the younger brother of Lord Ram, in a park in entrance of Teele Wali Masjid in Lucknow has rankled Muslim clerics, who complained that installing a Hindu deity’s idol will hinder their prayers.
The committee licensed the proposal on the grounds that the place used to be earlier called ‘Lakshman Teela’.
Imam of Teele Wali Masjid Maulana Syed Fazlul Mannan Rahmani mentioned, “We don’t object to the development of Lakshmanji or Ramji’s the statue any place but a statue in that small park out of doors Teele Wali Masjid may turn into a hindrance to the massive namaz gatherings we've during which the gang offers namaz on the street and within the park. This would possibly result in chances of a conflict. I've spoken to the mayor and he or she mentioned talks were on and that we will be able to be informed about regardless of the determination is.”
