Haji Arfat Shaikh, chairman of the Ayodhya mosque development committee, said when the mosque is ready in the next five to six years, top clerics of all countries will be invited, including Imam-e-Haram, who leads the namaz at the Mecca masjid. Shaikh, a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and former ex-minority commission chairman of Maharashtra, said the mosque will be "more beautiful" than the iconic Taj Mahal.
