New Delhi-Prime Minister Narendra Modi performed Bhoomi Pujan on August 5, 2020 for the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya. In the Bhoomi Poojan program, many celebrities including Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath and saints from all over the world were present. On this occasion, Indian sports personalities had expressed happiness by tweeting and gave a message of unity. In the same sequence, former cricketer Mohammad Kaif also made a tweet and appealed to the people to conduct Ram in conduct. He also advised to avoid agents of religion.
Kaif wrote, ‘I grew up in Allahabad, the city of the tehzeeb (culture) of Ganga-Jamuna. I have loved watching Ramleela, a symbol of compassion and respect. Lord Rama saw goodness inside everyone. We have to carry forward his legacy. I appeal to all of you not to let the hate agents get in the way of love and unity.’ On the occasion of Bhoomi Pujan, many players including cricketers Suresh Raina, Shikhar Dhawan, Amit Mishra and wrestler Sakshi Malik tweeted and wished good luck. .
When the Kaif’s message was well received by the fans. However, some people raged at him for giving the message of unity while they criticised Kaif. He was asked to explain when he shared some of his pictures on social media while doing yoga on International Yoga Day. However, due to those photographs, he was also targeted by the fundamentalists. Despite this, Kaif again gave a message of goodwill and attempted to close the mouths of the fundamentalists.
