This comes after a video of some Muslim women offering namaz on 17th October at the fort built by Peshwa Bajirao went viral online. Following this, BJP MP Medha Kulkarni, along with her supporters, reached Shaniwar Wada, sprinkled cow urine, and performed Shiva Vandana. Earlier, Kulkarni wrote on social media, “We will not allow namaz to be offered at Shaniwar Wada. Hindu society has now awakened.”
A complaint has been filed after 150 Hindu students at Bilaspur’s Guru Ghasidas Central University accused NSS camp organizers of coercing them into offering namaz.
“Our aim is that the peace and order of the place where we live should not be disturbed. So, everyone has faith in us... If you want to serve Eid's Seviyan (Vermicelli), then you will have to eat Holi's Gujia too,” the Sambhal CO said.
It has further been stated that although the Mosque has three floors and has enough space, with the intention of harassing the public, Namaz is offered by blocking the road outside the Mosque.
Calcutta High Court directed the West Bengal police to take control of a Mosque in Egra, East Midnapore, following a violent clash between two groups of Muslims that left one person dead.
