Hindutva groups disrupt namaz in Gurugram, force Muslims to chant ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’


Hindutva groups on Friday once again disrupted namaz at a park in Udyog Vihar in Haryana’s Gurugram. Videos shared on social media showed them forcing people to chant “Bharat Mata ki Jai”. This particular namaz site has seen several disruptions over the last one month. Hindutva groups had protested on November 20 against Muslims offering prayers at Sector 37 ground, claiming that they wanted to play cricket there. The groups had also organised a havan ceremony on November 26 at the site to mark the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. They performed a Govardhan Puja in sector 12A. “Namaz is going to stop in all of Gurugram very soon...What else?” Mufti Mohammad Saleem, the president of the local chapter of the Jamiat Ulema-i-Hind, told a journalist on Friday. “These people are refusing to stop harassing us. From over 100 sites [for offering namaz], we are down to six and even then they are not content.” Date: 17 December 2021 Place: Legal Action: No action.
