With the Ayodhya Ram Temple consecration ceremony slated for January 22, AIUDF chief and MP Badruddin Ajmal on Saturday urged Muslims to avoid travelling from January 20 to 25 to avoid "any untoward incident".
The MP from Assam's Dhubri has urged the followers of Islam to 'stay at home and pray to Allah' during the period, terming the BJP "their biggest enemy".
Addressing a meeting in Barpeta, Ajmal said, "The Ram idol will be installed and during that period, lakhs and lakhs of people will be going there in cars, trains, buses, special trains, flights. The BJP has big plans. I urge our Muslim brothers not to travel from January 20 to 24-25," the parliamentarian said.
The AIUDF chief alleged that BJP is the “enemy of Muslims' lives, faith, prayer, madrasa, masjid, 'purdah' of our mothers and sisters, Islamic laws and talaq."
"For the sake of peace and harmony, I have appealed to our Muslim brothers not to travel by train during the period," Ajmal told reporters after the meeting. "There can be no problem if people do not travel for three-four days."
