New Delhi : In a shockingfirst, authorities today started watering the ground in Noida Parks just before the Friday prayers. The incident was reported from a public park in Noida Sector 58 where mostly Muslim employees working in different MNC’s offer the congregational Friday prayers.
An employee wishing not to be named who offers Namaz in the same park said “Friday prayers were being offered in the said park in Sector 58 since 2013 and there are no reasons to suddenly stop it”
Earlier the Uttar Pradesh Police had ordered offices and establishments to direct their Muslim employees to stop offering Friday prayers in open areas such as parks.
According to a notice issued last week by police stations in Noida, including at the Sector 58 industrial hub, companies will be held liable if their employees are found violating the directive.
It is learnt that companies in the area have sought a meeting with senior Noida police officers for clarification on the matter, particularly on the clause that threatens to hold them liable for violations of the order by employees.
Executives of some of the companies who have been served the notices said there is widespread concern among units in sectors other than where the notices have already been served. It has also sparked worries that the ambit of the directive could be widened to include other areas in the National Capital Region township. Sector 58 is predominantly an IT and services hub.
The Noida Police has defended the move citing concerns that communal harmony could be disturbed, especially in the run-up to the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in 2019.
And the terroristan wants Kashmir……. rot in hellish rapeistaan
How mean, such a childish and low level behavior of UP govt.
Who does that to stop prayers??
Hate brigade jealous of Muslims love for attending Jumuah Islamic prayer and discipline!
It is high time for Muslims to get united
Shame on UP govt ,
The muslims must collect money and maybe rent a place where they can pray.why disturb others.
You are another idiot in making. This is nothing but another step by saffron Govt to harass Muslims. How does a one hour
Prayer in the park disturb others? If so, then stop allowing Ganapati and Durga pandals on the roads that disturb every one 24 hours a day for 10 continuous days while Friday prayer is once a week that too only for one hour.
Namaaz padhne ke liye neeyat honi chahiye! Namaaz ke bahaane political Islam ko badhawa dena galat hai. Good job by yogi government!
How do you come to this thought? If Yogi Govt is so concern, then Yogi should ask his Big Boss to stop RSS from interfering in politics of India. Ask him to tell RSS to close down all weapons training centres which it is running in the name of defence. Defence ! that too in a country where 85% population is Hindu.
Will the Central and State Governments stop poojas and prayers in the offices on festive and other official occasions.
Log namaz padana tho nahi chodegenge app apki nakam koshish karlo yogiji better luck😂😂😂😂
Namaaz toh sirf ek bahaana hai. Political Islam ke liye namaaz ka istemaal galat hai.
InshaAllah is haraami Yogi ko bahuth bada Jhatka lagne wala hai….
