Action will be taken against those who oppose it!

Seeing the situation was becoming tense due to the opposition from Muslims, the administration had deployed a large number of paramilitary personnel in the area. The police stated that those involved in creating disturbances would be identified and action would be taken against them according to law. The police also clarified that no one would be allowed to take the law into their own hands.

BJP MLA had already hinted at this earlier!

After the BJP’s victory in Bengal, BJP MLA Arjun Singh, while speaking to the news channel Aaj Tak, had stated that permission to offer namaz on roads should no longer be granted in the state. He said that mosques have been built for offering namaz and people should go there to pray.
