Two months before the grand opening of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, an old video featuring former Pakistan cricket captain Javed Miandad's claim that the new Ram Temple in Ayodhya will lead Hindus to convert to Islam has gone viral on X.


As the inauguration ceremony of the grand Ram Temple in Ayodhya approaches, videos disparaging the temple and casting doubt on its significance have begun circulating on the internet. One of these videos features former Pakistan cricket captain Javed Miandad asserting that the new Ram Temple will lead to Hindus converting to Islam.

“Those Hindus visiting the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya will come out as Muslims. It is our firmly held belief that our faith (Islam) will shine its light on those who visit places that are connected to our roots. Modi may have done wrong by getting the Ram Mandir built in Ayodhya, but it will work as a blessing in disguise for us. I have full faith in Allah that this will be the place from where Muslims will once again rise,” Miandad stated.
