Now there will be no Namaz in open place in Gurugram. Orders for this have already arrived. Today i.e. Friday prayers are held. There was a dispute between both the parties regarding this for 3 months. Now Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar has shown a tough stand regarding this.

CM Khattar has clearly said that “Namaz should not be held in the open. If someone offers Namaz at his place, reads the text, we have no problem in that. Such programs should not be held in the open. This practice of offering Namaz which has been done in the open will not be tolerated at all. CM Manohar Lal Khattar said that the permission of all the 37 places which we had marked for open namaz has been canceled. There will not be any tension regarding prayer.

Agreed on not opposing Namaz

Earlier, the Gurugram Deputy Commissioner of Police had said on Monday that a meeting of people of Muslim and Hindu society was called, in which many decisions were taken. Now there will be no opposition to prayer. It was decided that now there will be no prayer in public places. The Friday prayers will be held in 12 mosques. Rent will have to be paid for offering prayers in 6 public places. As soon as the Waqf Board land becomes available, prayers will be stopped at 6 places.

The dispute seemed to have stopped, there was an agreement between both the parties.

The controversy of open Namaz which has been going on in Gurugram for the last three months seems to be stopping now. Now both the sides have reached a mutual agreement after meeting with the District Deputy Commissioner of Gurugram and police officers. Namaz will not be offered in disputed places like Sector-37, Sector-47 and Sarhaul village.

This decision taken on Monday was also welcomed by the Muslim community. The Muslim society had expressed satisfaction over this agreement made with the district administration and the members of the Samyukta Hindu Sangharsh Samiti. At the same time, it was also said that some people were spreading such rumors that there is opposition to Namaz in Gurugram, that is absolutely wrong. The Muslim community was never stopped to offer Namaz.

The protest against Namaz in the open started in 2018

For the first time in Gurugram, the opposition to open Namaz started in 2018, which calmed down for some time, but now again the opposition to open Namaz started. If CM Khattar is to be believed, then regarding Namaz in the open, he said that Namaz or any worship should be done in religious places only. CM Khattar ordered the district administration to sit with the Muslim Council and offer prayers on the Waqf Board lands, try to make such arrangements.

It is worth mentioning that after the opposition to open Namaz in 2018, the district administration had agreed to open Namaz at 37 places after the consent of both the parties, which has now been withdrawn after the orders of the Chief Minister.

Congress said- Khattar government should help in expansion of mosques

Here, on CM Manohar Lal Khattar’s statement, Congress leader and Rajya Sabha MP from Maharashtra Majeed Menon said that Khattar should know that the number of mosques is very less and permission to expand the area of mosques to accommodate more Muslim people Not there.
