Gurugram Gurudwaras offer place to Muslims for Namaz offering

Gurugram : The Gurdwara association of Sadar Bazar in Gurugram has decided that it will provide its premises to Muslims for Friday prayers; this came as people objected to namaz offering on roads and public places.

"It's 'Guru Ghar', open for all communities with no discrimination. There shouldn't be any politics here. Basement is now open for Muslim brothers who want to offer 'Jumme ki namaz'," said Sherdil Singh Sidhu, President, Gurudwara Guru Singh Sabha, Sadar Bazar.

"If there's an open space, Muslims should be allowed to offer namaz. We shouldn't fight over such petty issues. People who were offering namaz in open sought administration's permission and those who had problems should have approached the administration before attacking them," he added. 

Earlier, the administration had allotted space for Namaz offerings asking Muslims not to block roads; later eight out of 37 designated sites were cancelled amid objection from locals and RWAs.

On several occasions earlier, residents of Gurugram have complained and staged a protest against Friday namaz at a public ground.
