The Chief Minister of Haryana lashed out at the muslim community for offering Namaz in open spaces and categorically stated them that namaz in open spaces won’t be tolerated.

Through his statement he mainly gave a statement on the Gurugram Namaz impasse where the muslim community was illegally offering namaz in open area and was trying to create a hateful atmosphere. He said that the Friday namaz should be offered in the place offered to them ie mosques and not in public places. Manohar Lal Khattar said “If someone offers Namaz at his place 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”. He further added “An amicable solution to the matter should and would be found,” he said. Offering public prayers is leading to clashes, he said and that should not happen. “We’d found a solution but that was found ineffective. There will be new talks to find a solution.”
