Last week Muslims praying on private property in Gurgaon's Sector 12-A had to deal with a massive crowd that gathered shouting 'Jai Shri Ram' slogans
Yet again Muslims peacefully offering namaz (or daily prayers) in Gurgaon's Sector 12-A were faced with crowds of protesters - many reportedly from right-wing groups - shouting slogans against the prayers and holding up placards that read "Gurgaon administration, wake up from your sleep".
Police were deployed in large numbers and around 30 protesters were detained.
After vociferous protests earlier this month in Sector 12-A and 47, police acted quickly today to ensure minimum disturbance.
Visuals from today's incident showed a small group of men (almost none are wearing face masks) milling about holding up cardboard signs and shouting "band karo, band karo", or "stop it, stop it".
