Friday namaz passes off peacefully at most sites except 3 in Gurgaon, with ‘Govardhan puja’ held there

It may be recalled that a similar speech by Mishra in February 2021 at a pro-CAA rally in Jaffrabad had triggered the communal riots in the Capital in February 2021, leaving 54 people dead and scores injured. “Whenever roads will be blocked, and people would be prevented from going to work, or children to school, there will always be a Kapil Mishra to stop that,” he had said.Several members of the Muslim community had decided to meet on Friday to nominate 21 members to represent them for meetings with the administration and political parties. One of the members was likely to be former Rajya Sabha MP Mohammad Adeeb.On Tuesday, Gurgaon Deputy Commissioner Yash Garg had constituted a committee comprising a sub-divisional magistrate, an ACP-level police officer, and members of Hindu and Muslim communities and social organisations to identify grounds where Friday namaz could be offered.The meetings did not reach a conclusion as several members of the Muslim community disagreed with each other even as a section of Muslims in Gurgaon accused RSS-backed Muslim Rashtriya Manch of having hijacked the talks with the administration over the issue of Friday prayers at public spaces.
