Ayodhya madrassa declares 3-day mourning

The madrassa in Sonkhari village of Ayodhya has declared a three-day mourning as tribute to Mahant Satyendra Das. Maulana Mohammad Ahmad said Muslims will mourn the passing of a great human being. He said Das attended the annual programme of communal harmony organised by the madrassa as the chief guest for the past 15 years. "Pujari Ji was an affectionate person who would even attend events at madarssa in Ayodhya every year," the cleric said. Das will be remembered as an ambassador of Ayodhya's amity who openly shared stage with Muslims and also with those who didn't subscribed to different ideologies and faith. Professor Anil Singh of Saket Degree College said his doors were always open for all faiths.
