If someone is offering open space in their garage, house or place of worship to Muslims for namaz, that’s their own choice. We are against the practice of namaz being offered in public places. We are not against anyone offering prayers indoors, be it from any community. It must be mentioned that the Gurugram administration had earlier denied permission to offer namaz at 8 of the 37 public grounds to offer Jumma Namaz after local residents had objected to it.Īs per the legal adviser of SHSS, Kulbhushan Bhardwaj, a total of 2,500 books on Guru Tegh Bahadur was distributed.”We did not go there to protest against the gurdwara management committee’s decision to offer their premises for namaz. They distributed books titled “Guru Tegh Bahadur-Hind ki Chadar” and stayed at the premises between 12 pm to 2 pm. Hindu groups read the Gurudwara, distribute book on Guru Tegh BahadurĪ Hindu rights group, Sanyukta Hindu Sangharsh Samiti (SHSS) also reached the gurdwara where Muslims were supposed to offer Namaz. He further added that none should object to the offering of prayers by Muslims in empty areas such as the basement and parking spaces. In its defence, gurdwara committee spokesperson Daya Singh clarified that only Sikh rituals are allowed within the sanctum sanctorum of the gurdwara. The property of a gurdwara cannot be used for any purpose which goes against the ‘Maryada (customs) of Shri Guru Granth Sahibji.” According to the spokesperson of the management committee Daya Singh, an alternate site was provided to the Muslims to offer Namaz but they had refused in light of ‘Gurupurab celebrations.’ The prabandhak (management) committee allowed them to offer namaz but we are not in favour of it.” He added that the decision will be reviewed after the end of festivals on November 21 this year.Īnother local resident named Gurucharan Singh further clarified, “People from all religions are welcome but there can only be Gurbani in a gurdwara and nothing else. Shri Guru Granth Sahibji doesn’t permit it. While speaking about the incident, a local named Jowahar Singh stated, “They cannot offer namaz in the gurdwara. The development comes after reports claimed that the internal committee of the gurdwara had opened its doors to the Muslim community.Īs per reports, several Sikhs were opposed to the idea of the Gurdwara management to allow Muslims to offer Jumma Nama within the premises of the sacred shrine. And it is off-the- record, so we expect you will hear information at the session and nowhere else.On Friday (November 19), members of the Sikh community objected to the offering of namaz by Muslims at the Gurdwara Singh Sabha in Gurugram in Haryana. The program is a question and answer session where the moderator asks 30 minutes of questions, and the audience the other 30 minutes.
