According to information obtained in this matter, an individual named Rajkumar was building a house and Asar Mohammad was working there as a mason. In the afternoon when the other workers went for lunch, Asar went and offered namaz in the Hanuman Temple opposite the construction site. It is being said that he did so at Rajkumar’s instruction. Hence a case has been registered against Rajkumar too. There is an atmosphere of anger in the village because of this incident.

Editorial Perspective

Will any Muslim ever ask a Hindu to offer prayers, recite the Hanuman Chalisa (or do Namasmaran) in a Masjid? Hindus engage in such acts because they lack Dharma education and pride in their faith!
