Several detained for disrupting ‘namaz’ in Gurugram

By Sumit Blogs -

GURUGRAM: The Gurugram Police has detained several people who disrupted Muslims offering ‘namaz’ (prayers) and started shouting slogans of ‘Jai Shree Ram’ in Sector-12 of the city.
Around 500 police personnel were deployed at five spots where Muslims offer ‘namaz’ in the city on Friday. The step was taken following threats of disruption by right wing Hindu groups if prayers are offered in the open, reported IANS.
The five designated prayer sites include DLF Phase-3, Sector 12A, Sector 14, Sector 56 and Sector 47.
Earlier, the group had disrupted one of the sites in Sector 47.
Residents and locals had joined the protest, chanting Hindu prayers at the time of ‘namaz’ on consecutive Fridays over the past two weeks.
Apart from this, on October 26, Hindu groups, under the banner of Sanyukt Hindu Sangharsh Samiti, submitted a memorandum to the Deputy Commissioner Gurugram stating that they would not tolerate Friday prayers in the open.
However, officials claimed that they are prepared to tackle any issue and no one will be allowed to disturb the law and order situation across the district.
A senior police official said that they have deployed several police personnel to maintain law and order at all sensitive spots.
“We have elaborate security arrangements and a senior police officer will patrol sensitive areas who will ensure safety and security of people offering ‘namaz’,” he said.
Haji Shehzad Khan, chairman of the Muslim Ekta Manch, said, “We are following all necessary directions given by the local administration. We don’t want to disturb the law and order situation, but if they (Hindu groups) target us, we will not sit silent.”
A furniture shop owner Mehmood Khan filed a written complaint in Sector 14 police station that on last Friday, residents and some other people staged a protest against ‘namaz’ in an open area.
In 2018, the district administration had designated 37 sites in the city for Muslims to offer Friday prayers following which there were protests by Hindu groups.

The stage was about to be set for Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan’s ‘Vikram Vedha’ in Mumbai’s Film City. The material had reached. The artisans had been hired. But the lights have now been dimmed. Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi’s hit movie Vikram Vedha’s Hindi remake will not go on floors by mid-July as per the original plan. The new delta virus of COVID has sent shudders down many spines and many films which were being laid out on an expansive scale have been either held back or shifted their shoots abroad. The first schedule of this Hrithik-Saif movie will now be shot abroad. A source says, “The Mumbai schedule will be done but later.” Adds the source, “It’s a call that was taken yesterday. It wasn’t an easy call to take, no doubt, but the fact that it’s going to be a costly set made the makers take the safer route rather than be sorry later.” When contacted, General Secretary of FWICE (Federation of Western India Cine Employees), Ashok Dubey, confirmed that the makers of ‘V
