While talking to ANI, Sarang Maharaj said that his visit to Dargah came on the occasion of the Ram Pratishtha ceremony anniversary on Wednesday.

“The way PM Modi sent the Chadar to this Dargah followed by Rajnath Singh and Amit Shah, exuded a sense of unity in India. It inspired me to come here and put chadar on Dargah. There is Lord Ram in every nook and corner. Since I wore a saffron cloth, the people of this mosque also gave me a saffron cloth to wear. People were very respectful towards me during the visit, ” he told ANI.

He concluded with requesting unity and peace among the citizens of India. The event took place as the Mahakumbh Mela in Uttar Pradesh’s Prayagraj is at the peak of its fervour. (ANI)
