Several organisations came together and tendered a memorandum on minority rights to the Governor of Haryana through Duty Magistrate, Darpan Kamboj amid ongoing conflict over Namaz in public places in Gurugram on Wednesday.

These organisations include Loktantrik Manch, Nagrik Ekta Manch, Janwadi Mahila Samiti, Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU), Sarva Karamchari Sangh and others.

On Wednesday, these groups protested the whole day long and later submitted a memorandum.

According to the memorandum, these representatives alleged that BJP and RRS related organisations are continuously harassing minority communities and disrupting Friday Namaz in Gurugram.

RRS related organisations are deliberately disturbing communal harmony in Gurugram and disrupting Friday Namaz on several locations in Gurugram to gain political mileage and even suggesting that minority people should go to Pakistan, according to the memorandum.

“In 2018 the administration and police department had designated few locations for open Namaz but now the administration has withdrawn permissions of few locations and now the Friday Namaz are being offered at 20 places only. Now those people who offered their space for Friday prayers are being targeted in Gurugram which is harmful to society,” Altaf Ahmad, the co-founder of Gurugram Muslim Council said in the memorandum.

The members also alleged that on July 4, a Mahapanchayat was also organised by the RSS related organisation in the Pataudi block of Gurugram where openly minority community was targeted but despite complaints, no action was taken against the organisers.

“We demanded from the district administration to protect minority people during open Friday Namaz and ensure places for offering Namaz. Hate campaigns should be stopped against minority people and strict action should be taken against those involved in such communal activities,” a member of an organisation said.

“We have given a complaint against people who are disrupting open Friday prayers in Gurugram. The district administration has assured us that police is collecting audio and video evidence against such people and after this, they will initiate action against such people. We are peace-loving people and wants to maintain harmony in the city,” Hazi Shahad Khan, Chairman Muslim Ekta Manch said.
