Gurgaon, December 11, 2021 (PPI-OT):Members of extremist Hindu organisations did not allow Friday Namaz in Gurgaon city of the Indian state of Haryana. In a bid to stop the prayers at Sector-37 in the city, condolence meetings were organised for Chief of Defence Staff Bipin Rawat, his wife and other army personnel who lost their lives in a chopper crash on December 8. Trucks and other vehicles were also found parked hap hazardously at the Namaz location.

Meanwhile, the Friday Namaz was disrupted in a park located in Sector-44 by members of the Hindu right-wing organisations. However, due to the deployment of a heavy police force at the site, no untoward incident was reported.

A Muslim man who was prevented from reaching the site said, “This is a wrong way to stop us from offering Namaz. In Sector-37 a number of people are offering Namaz since several years but nobody stopped us but now few organisations are deliberately disrupting the prayers to gain political mileage. We believe that a real Hindu cannot prevent anybody from offering prayers,” Rashid Malik told media.

Earlier, in a meeting with the district administration, the Muslim organisations had decided to go ahead with Friday prayers at 18 places including six temporary spots in Gurgaon.
