On December 6, members of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal protested against Jumma Namaz at Narendra Nagar In Dehradun, Uttarakhand.
During demonstrations, they delivered provocative hate speeches and accused the mosques of being part of a conspiracy against Hindus and India. Consequently, following the complaints, police abruptly stopped the usual Namaz offerings.
The group also opposed Muslim women to stop them from worshipping at their homes. A video of Hindutva leaders surrounded by a horde of supporters also went viral online, in which they can be spotted with garlands on a religious portrait and offensive anti-Muslim slogans.
“From where have they come to our Devbhoomi?”
The members said that the worship place should be vacated soon and no Muslim should be allowed to pray at “Devbhoomi” because it does not belong to them.
“Will there be any Jumma Namaz after today? Will you not protest against it?” a Hindutva leader can be heard shouting in the video, while his followers reply with other communal calls.
