Gurgaon namaz site, BJP politician Kapil Mishra attended a Govardhan puja at the Sector 12A site in Gurgaon on Friday, which was organised by members of the Sanyukt Hindu Sangharsh Samiti. For the past two weeks, right-wing groups and local citizens have disrupted the Sector 12A site, where Namaz was being offered under police protection.
A group of 26 protesters were arrested late last month for attempting to disrupt the Namaz; before being freed on bail the same day. Many of them were in attendance at the ceremony on Friday.
The Samiti said on Sunday that they will do the Govardhan puja to oppose Namaz in all public areas. Some members of the Muslim community have stated that they would be willing to relocate; if they were given an alternate location or if Waqf board holdings were freed of encroachments.
In the Constitution, everyone has the same rights. Roadblocking is not a part of any religion. It’s not supposed to happen. Gurgaon is a world-renowned metropolis. You will obstruct traffic in this area. In Delhi, you’re going to block them? This can’t possibly be a part of religion. This is a strategy for halting and disrupting the country’s economy. People who walk on roads, run their companies on them or utilize them; to get to workplaces, hospitals, and schools have the first right to them. And if local citizens object, no one has a fundamental right to sit; on the side of the road and stop traffic. There’s no way to stop it. “People come from all around to pray here,” he remarked.
On Thursday, the city of Gurgaon revoked authorization for Namaz at eight locations throughout the city. The decision was made after “objection from nearby residents and resident welfare organizations; according to a statement from the Gurgaon police department. A committee made up of members of the Hindu and Muslim faiths as well as social organizations was formed to come up with a list of locations where Friday Namaz could be held “in the future.” Gurgaon namaz site.
