Fatehpur: Ziaul Hasan, a prisoner at Fatehpur district jail, can’t relate the euphoria associated with consecration of Ram Temple in Ayodhya, but he could very well feel the pulse.
Hasan did not want to miss out the opportunity to ‘gift’ Ram Lalla, a child incarnation of Hindu god Lord Ram. Like many other prisoners, who are languishing at the jail, he too wanted to contribute something for the Ram Lalla consecration.
Many other prisoners of Fatehpur district jail also made bags for the prasad to be distributed on the occasion of Ram Lalla’s consecration and handed them over to Union Minister Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti.
Hasan handed over a cheque of Rs 1,100 to Union Minister Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti, who was moved by his gesture. He collected the amount which he earned from sweeping the floors of the jail. It is not clear whether he wanted to ‘atone’ for the crime he had committed earlier and became the reason for his jail term, but his gesture touched the minister, whose eyes welled up in emotion.
According to jail authorities, Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti expressed her joy over devotion of prisoners towards Lord Ram.
“During her interaction with jail inmates, Union Minister Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti turned emotional. Her eyes moistened with tears after seeing devotion prisoners towards Ram Lala,” a jail insider said.
Ramlala’s life consecration is going to take place in Ayodhya today. There is a lot of enthusiasm among Ram devotees regarding this. Everyone is contributing to this in some way or the other.
Many prisoners of Fatehpur district jail also made bags for the prasad to be distributed on the occasion of Ram Lalla’s consecration and handed them over to Union Minister Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti.
Hasan used to get a wage of Rs 25 per day for sweeping floors at the jail. He never hesitated to donate his 45 days’ wages as his ‘devotion’ towards Lord Ram has left Sadhvi ‘speechless’. According to jail authorities, Sadhvi acknowledged Hasan’s devotion saying the prisoner must have had ‘past life connection’ with Lord Ram.
