' Must Say Bharat Mata Ki Jai': Gurgaon Muslims Trying To Offer Namaz Told

Muslims also stayed away from Gurgaon's Sector 37 - one of the designated namaz sites - where a Hindu religious ceremony was being performed

Muslims in Haryana's Gurgaon faced yet more protests from right-wing groups today while trying to offer namaz. Interruption of namaz in open spaces, particularly on government-owned land, has taken place every week for the past few months in the city, which is part of the national capital region.

This week - at the city's Udyog Vihar neighbourhood - there was a heated exchange of words after an angry mob seemed to harass Muslims gathered to pray, demanding they chant 'Bharat mata ki jai'.

Visuals showed the two groups (some of whom had no face masks) shouting at each other.

A man wearing a saffron-coloured shawl, another man in a maroon shirt and wool cap, and a third in a blue shirt can be heard demanding the Muslims shout 'Bharat mata ki jai'.
