In his plea, ex-Rajya Sabha MP Mohammad Adeeb said there had been a steady increase in incidents involving Friday prayers offered by the Muslims in Gurgaon
The issue of Gurgaon's Muslims being stopped from offering namaz in open spaces, including government-owned land, every Friday for the past few months reached the Supreme Court on Thursday, after an ex-Rajya Sabha MP filed a petition.
Ex-MP Mohammed Adeeb has moved the top court asking for action against Haryana officials, including the Chief Secretary and the Director-General of Police, for failing to comply with earlier directions regarding measures to curb communal and violent sentiments that result in hate crimes.
Action has been sought against Chief Secretary Sanjeev Kaushal, DGP PK Agrawal, and others.
The Supreme Court directions referenced were passed in 2018 and relate to measures to prevent hate crime, including mob violence and lynching.
