Gurugram DC sets up committee to resolve issue
Gurgaon Nagrik Ekta Manch, a citizens’ forum, on Tuesday announced that it would launch a public awareness campaign, countering hatred, fake news and false allegations with reason and facts on the controversy surrounding the offering of Friday prayers (Jumma Namaz) in the open.
Addressing a press conference, Manch co-founder Altaf Ahmad said Muslims were obligated to offer Jumma Namaz in a congregation and ideally, the prayer would be in a mosque. But there were only a handful of mosques in the city. “Muslims are the largest minority of Gurugram with the least number of permanent prayer institutions,” said Mr. Ahmad.
