Muslims offered prayers for the first time since 1947 in a 550-year-old mosque in Sultanpur Lodhi in Kapurthala district of Punjab last Friday.
Sikh community members who helped repair the mosque welcomed the Muslims to the abandoned shrine situated inside a fort….
On November 13, Sikhs and Muslims of the area held a joint event to mark the opening of the mosque. The Sikhs also distributed sweets among the Muslim attendees…. Saleem said this gesture from Sikhs should help promote communal harmony in the country.
