An Indian donates his land for the construction of a masjid

Author: Mubashir Ali Mubashir

An Indian Sikh vendor, Sukhpal Singh Bedi has donated 900 square feet land for the construction of a masjid in the celebration of Baba Guru Nanak’s 550th birthday and Pakistan’s inauguration of Kartarpur corridor.

Bedi, 70, hailed from Purkazi town in the district of Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh India; handed over the documents of the land to the Nagar Panchayat Chairman, Zahir Farooqui — the Muslim community pay thanked Bedi for his generous act.

“In my least authority, I am owing to prevail the teachings of love and peace of Baba Guru Nanak Deve Je…this is a gesture of tribute to Baba Guru Nanak’s teachings”. Bedi said.

Meanwhile, Sukhpal Singh said that Bedis are the direct descendants of Baba Guru Nanak, originally belonged from a town Bedian near Lahore. He, in this way, felt a greater duty to make a model by following his lessons.

A month ago, a similar kind of gesture was also being portrayed by a Sikh father and son in Newyork America; where they are raising money for the construction of mosques in Nadala, India. A man named Darshan Singh and his son Jaspreet Singh living in New York, launched a campaign on November 25 on the ‘Go Fund Me‘ crowdfunding website to arrange a sum of $10,000 to built a masjid, where more than 35 people have donated. The duo has collected $1600 till today.

Back in Nadala, as per the news; Muslims have no proper masjid: they use to pray in shifts in store of a shop. Some 200-300 Muslim families are living in Nadala.

All these advancements happened when Indian Muslims are executed under the extremist Narendra Modi government. When Babri Masjid’s decision reported; when out of 60 ruthless violence occurred with Muslim over which 97% have happened in Prime Minister Modi drove government (as indicated by India Spend), and when pluralistic Hindu’s profound pioneer like Swami Agnivesh got merciless assault over his one remark about eating beef.
