Issue will be Resolved Amicably, said the CM
On Friday, the Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal khattar said that offering Namaz in public places will not be tolerated.
According to the statement given by the chief minister Manohar Lal khattar to the media, "I have told the police to resolve this issue. There is no problem with people offering Namaz or Puja at the designated places. The Religious places are designated for that. But the act of offering Namaz in open spaces will not be tolerated. The issue will be resolved amicably.
Further CM said, "They have said they have some lands where permission should be given. We will see if there is any land of Waqf that has been encroached so that it can be made available. People can offer Namaz at their homes. But doing it in open spaces may create conflict. There should be no interference in public rights. But forcefully doing something will not be tolerated”.
According to the statement given to IANS by Khurshid Razaka (Governor of Muslim National Forum) said, “we have appealed to the administration to remove the encroachment on the land of Masjids, Madrasas and Waqf board so that the Namaz can be offered peacefully.”
According to the information, earlier in November, the Gurugram administration had withdrawn permission to offer Namaz at 8 out of 37 designated places. As per the official statement of the district administration, the permission was cancelled after an objection from the local people and resident welfare association (RWA).
