Abu Azmi: A delegation led by Maharashtra Samajwadi Party state president and MLA Abu Asim Azmi met Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. This meeting was held with the aim of finding a solution to the ongoing controversy over loudspeakers in mosques. Abu Azmi submitted a memorandum to the CM in this regard.
Azmi has demanded that clear and universally accepted guidelines be set regarding the use of loudspeakers in mosques, so that those who give political color to this sensitive issue can be stopped.
‘Some elements are deliberately spoiling the atmosphere’
After meeting the Chief Minister, Abu Asim Azmi said, “The use of loudspeakers for Azaan in mosques is done as per the guidelines set by the Supreme Court. Despite this, some elements are deliberately trying to spoil the atmosphere and put pressure on the administration to remove loudspeakers from mosques, due to which resentment is increasing in the Muslim community.
What suggestions did Abu Azmi give?
Azmi suggested, “A joint meeting should be held in every city with the police, representatives of the Muslim community and the trustees of mosques, so that a peaceful solution can be found through mutual dialogue and those who use this issue as a political weapon can be stopped.
