AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has raised questions over the selective opposition to religious activities on roads. He asked why there are no objections to religious yatras from Uttarakhand to Delhi, which allegedly block roads, while namaz on roads is criticized.
Double Standards in Religious Gatherings
Owaisi pointed out the inconsistency in the public discourse. He stated that if holding namaz on roads is considered wrong, then all religious street celebrations, including processions and yatras, should also be opposed. He emphasized that the same standard should apply to all faiths.
Reaction to Ongoing Debates
The statement comes amid ongoing debates about religious practices in public spaces. Several groups have objected to namaz being offered on roads, citing inconvenience and law violations. However, Owaisi argues that similar objections are not raised against other religious events that also occupy public spaces.
Owaisi's remarks highlight the perceived bias in the enforcement of rules. He called for a uniform approach to all religious activities, ensuring that no community is unfairly targeted. The AIMIM chief urged authorities to treat all religious gatherings equally under the law.
