Arfa Khanum claims SC ordered BJP govt to build the mosque on the 5 acres of land in Ayodhya, cites SC judgement to propagate the lie

The grand Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha ceremony in Ayodhya has ruffled the feathers of the Islamist-left liberal cabal and the one person who appears to be shaken the most is The Wire’s senior editor Arfa Khanum Sherwani. In yet another attempt to make the Modi-led government appear intolerable and prejudiced towards Muslims in the country, Arfa Khanum Sherwani went on to claim that the BJP government, at both the state and central levels, moved quickly to construct the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, but ignored to lay even a brick at the five acres of land that they anyways provided as a ‘charity’ for the construction of a mosque in Ayodhya in accordance with Supreme Court orders. In her hate-filled speech, Arfa claims, “In the Supreme Court judgement it was clearly stated that when the state and central government build the Ram Mandir, they must also build a mosque on the 5 acres alternate land provided to the party contesting for Babri Masjid.” In her effort to poison the minds of her viewers against the ruling dispensation, Arfa goes on to lie that the Muslims were given this small piece of land as a charity by the ruling dispensation, which mobilised all its effort and money to build the Ram Mandir but did not even bother to place a brick for the construction of the mosque. The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust and the Sunni Waqf Board were responsible for the construction of the Ram Mandir and the mosque on the 5 acres of alternate land respectively. So, the question here is when the UP Sunni Central Waqf Board accepted the 5 acres of land in February 2020, and agreed to build the mosque, how is it the central government or the state government’s fault if the Sunni Waqf Board has not yet started constructing the mosque and the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has completed the construction of the temple’s ground floor and the first and second floors are expected to be finished by December 2024.
