@dumbupole@TweetyGazelle@Ab_Mashu_17 There was no logic. Btw, no one ever rejected the idea of shared prayer room. There are multi faith prayer rooms across the world. A muslim using that space would never hv an objection with someone else using the same space too.
Rebuttal to RSS Propaganda on “No Road Namaz”.
And it is propaganda because of these pointers which we nearly never talk about:
1. Muslim countries don’t allow namaz on the road because they have enough masjids.
Countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, etc., have massive mosque infrastructure + prayer rooms everywhere (malls, airports, offices).
Blocking public roads is strictly illegal with fines or arrest. Eid prayers are held only in designated huge mosques or approved open grounds and never on random streets halting traffic.
2. However, this leads directly to the second point: If Muslim-majority countries can strictly ban road prayers even for their own Muslim population, then a Hindu-majority country like India must apply the exact same standard to Hindu festivals.
The RSS frequently cites these Muslim countries as a model. By that logic, the RSS should also learn from them and enforce bans or strict restrictions on Hindu festivals and processions that block roads all year — Kanwar Yatra, Ganesh Chaturthi, Durga Puja, Ram Navami, etc. Consistency demands the same rules for the majority community in India.
3. Namaz happens on the road only in the rare cases (like Alvida Juma and Eid).
Regular road namaz is not a daily occurrence; it is limited to specific large gatherings (Eid, Alvida Juma) when mosques overflow. It is not a routine practice throughout the year.
4. Hindus celebrate all their festivals on the road throughout the year.
Kanwar Yatra, Ganesh Chaturthi, Durga Puja, Ram Navami processions, Holi, Jagran, Bhandara — roads are occupied for days and weeks with full public participation and disruption. This happens continuously, not just on rare occasions.
5. BJP governments actively participate in blocking roads for Hindu festivals.
In BJP-ruled states, police and administration officially close highways (e.g., Kanwar Yatra 2025–26: 66,000+ police deployed, Delhi-Meerut Expressway, GT Road sections shut for weeks).
Schools are closed, traffic diverted, and state machinery is used to facilitate these events. No such support is ever given for Muslim prayers.
6. This is a selective application of law and part of the persecution of Muslims in India.
The same governments that actively block roads and provide full state support for Hindu festivals issue blanket bans, FIRs, passport threats, and licence suspensions only for Muslim road namaz (e.g., UP orders in Meerut, Sambhal, Bareilly during Eid/Alvida 2025–26).
Courts often protect Hindu processions as “tradition” while declaring Muslim road prayer illegal. This creates a clear apartheid policing system.
These 6 points together expose the selective outrage and hypocrisy in the RSS framing. Public roads belong to everyone hence the law and enforcement must be the same for every community, not a political tool.
I will stress, especially, that the point number 2 should be enforced in India, immediately. And the example of Muslim countries should be followed in India.
@NalinisKitchen@Lepchas_@raghav_chadha These are generic pot shots. Tagging Rahul Gandhi in the same tweet to the PM dilutes the essence.
Any pointed queries raised to the PM or the HM? Was unable to find.
Actually, it is exactly the opposite. There was always a question of what would happen if the UAE was attacked. Now we know. Possibly the best missile defence system in the world and excellent military and government systems. They shot down close to 2,000 projectiles, reopened their airspace and life goes on. The UAE will be even safer than before without the ongoing regional threats of the Iranian regime. I have lived in the UAE for 27 years.
Ajit Agarkar & his clownery as chief selector of India:
- Selected Tilak Verma & Sky in Asia Cup & WC23 over inform Samson who had 50+ avg,
- Removed Shreyas Iyer from central contract ignoring his all timer WC compaign,
- Removed Hardik Pandya from T20I captaincy & given it back to Rohit who had played not single T20I in 1 year,
Then sacked Hardik Pandya from leadership role completely despite him being MVP for India at 2024 WC and made Sky captain of India coz of his bias,
Selected Rishabh Pant in T20I WC when he had only 126 strike rate in T20I coz Agarkar was in DC with Pant,
Dropped Gaikwad & Shivam Dube from T20Is despite good performances,
Dropped Mukesh Kumar from test depsite his good performance in South Africa & for India A & made India lose BGT,
Selected Rishabh Pant over Sanju Samson on favouritism rather merit,
There are 100 more things to write but for now this is enough, he is the shitiest person ever to enter BCCI's office.
History will remember you @imAagarkar for bringing favouritism in Indian Team over merit.
Some Australian friends seem to have selective memories about McGrath's question to Sarwan about Brian Lara's privates & so many other incidents.
Also, if Travis Head actually said 'well bowled' after being bowled, then Siraj was actually singing 'Chhaiya Chhaiya!'
Chill guys!
