community kitchen
and library on 5acre land in Dhannipur village in lieu of Babri mosque.
The trust, Indo Islamic Cultural Foundation, opened two current accounts in two leading private sector banks at branches in Hewett Road and Vibhuti Khand, Gomtinagar.
Talking to TOI, Trust secretary,
Athar Hussain
, said, “We will accept donations from all communities to make the Dhannipur complex a unique example of communal harmony and a centre of healing, teaching and preaching.”
“We decided to create a website and portal of the Trust with a gateway to receive donations as we are receiving numerous calls from those willing to donate,” he said.
Funds for the Dhannipur complex will be raised from donations from all communities, he said. “We expect financial aid from government too. In fact, a member of Parliament from Assam, Abdul Khalique, has offered to donate and we are receiving messages from Muslims and Hindus, who are eager to provide funds for mosque and other facilities,” he said.
The Indo-Islamic Cultural Foundation was formed with nine members and six more would be made trust members soon.
