STORY 1
When Ganesh Chaturthi and Bakr-Eid were celebrated in the same pandal
During the celebration of Bakr-Eid this year, many Muslim devotees in Mumbai were seen performing
their prayers inside a Ganapati pandal. How did this happen? When members of the Seva Sangh
Ganeshotsav Mandal in Colaba saw that the Madrassa Rahamatiya Talimul Quran mosque could not
accommodate all the devotees who had turned up to offer their prayers, they invited them to the pandal
meant for Ganesha Chaturthi celebration so they could pray in peace.

STORY 2
Muslims of Allahabad, Gaya set examples of communal harmony by demolishing mosque,
building temple
The Muslim community of two distinct places, Allahabad in UP and Gaya in Bihar, have set examples of
communal harmony by showing the utmost respect for the sentiments for their Hindu brethren.
In Allahabad, the Muslim community demolished parts of various mosques in the old city area on their
own to facilitate widening of roads that are being carried out by Yogi Adityanath government ahead of
next year’s Kumbh Mela.
Similarly, in a Muslim-majority village of Gaya, the members of the community constructed a temple for
the Hindu residents of the village who were forced to perform Yagna under the open sky as there was
no temple in the area.
