U.P. MLA demands 'namaz room' in Assembly building as in Jharkhand
The Hindu
Samajwadi Party MLA Irfan Solanki’s demand came amid a controversy over the allotment of a room for offering namaz in the Jharkhand Assembly building
After allotment of a room for offering namaz on the Jharkhand Assembly premises, Samajwadi Party MLA Irfan Solanki on Tuesday demanded a similar prayer room for Muslims in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly building and urged the Speaker to consider it. "I am an MLA for the past 15 years. Many times when assembly proceedings are going on, we Muslim MLAs have to leave the Assembly to offer namaz. "If there is a small prayer room in the Assembly we won't have to leave proceedings. On many occasions if you have a question in the pipeline and it is the time for 'azaan' (prayer call), you can either ask the question or offer namaz," said Mr. Solanki who is an MLA from Sisamau seat in Kanpur.
