Muslim Council rejects clerics’ namaz deal
The Hindu
‘The community will continue to offer prayers at all the 37 sites agreed upon in 2018’
A day after the Gurugram Imam Sangathan in a meeting with right-wing groups and the administration agreed not to hold namaz at 20 designated places, the Gurgaon Muslim Council submitted a memorandum to the office of Deputy Commissioner on Tuesday, rejecting the proposal as “fraudulent”. It also demanded setting up of a committee for an amicable solution to the controversy over offering of namaz in the open.
The council, in the memorandum, said the Muslims would continue to offer Jumma Namaz at all the 37 sites agreed upon in 2018, and demanded that the district administration ensure law and order was maintained.
The delegation comprised members of the Gurgaon Muslim Council and several imams, including Mufti Mohammad Saleem Qasmi, president, Jamiat-Ulama-i-Hind, Gurugram, and Muslim Ekta Manch chairman Hazi Shahzad Khan.
