Ranchi: protesting the special space for offering Namaz in the new state assembly secretariat, BJP opposition on Saturday demanded that the speaker, Rabindra Nath Mahto, waste space for the Hanuman Temple in the assembly.
However, who ruled JMM had wiped the demands of BJP.
Speaking with reporters at the BJP office here, Ranchi MLA C P Singh accused the government of Hemant Soren “pampering religious polarization”.
He said, “We are not against any religion and in this country and in accordance with our constitution, everyone is free to practice their faith.
After saying that, Parliament and Vidhan Sabhas are considered a democratic temple and not for certain religions.
Therefore, If the State Assembly speaker can provide room for Namaz, we also urge it to provide a place to establish the Hanuman Temple.
“Singh stressed that their original demand remembered the number of MLA at home practicing Hinduism.
“Of the 82 members, four MLA comes from a different community.
The majority of the remaining legislators are Hinduism.
In addition, there are many assembly staff who are Hindus.
Therefore, we demand the Hanuman temple so that we can also pray.
If the assembly or government has a crisis Funds in building temples, we are ready to build it as long as we get a place intended.
Assembly and state government must respect the demands of other religions as well, “he added.
Rabindranath Mahto speakers cannot be contacted for his comments but the source said the provisions for Namaz were there before.
However, it ended during the BJP administration between 2014 and 2019.
Singh, Mla five times against him by saying that he was not a formal designated place.
“Even when I was a speaker during the previous BJP coalition government, there was no such place.
Some MLA demanded home delay on Friday to offer Jumma Namaz, but I later told them that they were free to go and offer Namaz but postponed the house no It will be appropriate because the other MLA is selected by public representatives and their time is very important, “he said.
Former Chief Minister Raghubar Das also criticized this step to observe the Namaz’s room and warn of a big stir in the coming days against the provisions.
He said, “BJP will not be a silent audience for the east effort of the state government for religious polarization.
This has never been done before at the Temple of Democracy.
If the order is not taken back, the party will launch a massive gate from Sadan to Sadak (Assembly To the streets).
“Taking a strong exception with the BJP statement, JMM Secretary General, Supriyo Bhattacharya claimed that the provisions for the prayer room were not only in parliament but also in all state legislative assembly buildings throughout the country.
“In 1950 when we adopted a constitution, it was a conscious decision to embrace secularism but BJP attacked every democratic cloth now,” he said.
Asked for a party to refrain from politics on the communal lane, Bhattacharya said the provisions were in the old assembly building of the country and BJP, when in the ruling coalition, did not object to it at that time.
Veteran congressmen, Furkan Ansari, who is MLA for many things and also a MP, defends the steps of the Assembly.
Mr.
Jamtara Mla at this time, Irfan Ansari, said that after the formation of Jharkhand and the First State Council, Babulal Marandi, consulted with the first assembly speaker, Minding Singh Namdhari, had provided a separate room to offer Namaz in the assembly.
“In 2000, Marandi Ji, who introduced it so that Muslim staff did not face problems when offering Namaz in the Assembly.
Giving room for Namaz does not mean that it was converted to idgah, but only recorded a clean place to pray.
Ironically, after returning to BJP Again, he (Marandi) is silent on it now.
The only BJP agenda is to hate hatred, “Furkan said.
It can be noted that on September 2, the Secretariat of the State Assembly has told a room (TW-348) to offer Namaz.
However, this problem was obtained by traction since Saturday morning, the day after the ongoing Monsun session, with a notification letter became a viral.
Since then, the word war erupted between the verdict and opposition camps throughout the day on this issue.
