Bharuch, March 5, 2020: Vijay Kumar, a resident of the Tamil Nadu, has sought help from his friend Abdulkhuda Mohd Hanif Shaikh to build a temple.
Shaikh, also from Tamil Nadu’s Paraipatti village, has been living in Gujarat’s Baruch for a decade. He has collected 300,000 rupees from his friends as a donation to build the temple in Paraipatti village in Dindigul district.
“They’d told me 4 months ago and came to me 10 days back. From Vapi to Mehsana, there are several Tamils, even here in the village too. I personally went to them to collect funds,” Shaikh said.
Kumar said that he stayed in Gujarat and collected 300,000 rupees with him.
“I had sought help from him. I stayed in Gujarat for 10 days, and went with him from people to people. No one lives like Hindus or Muslims in our village, everyone lives like friends,” he added.
