Amid protests against the use of loudspeakers in mosques by some right-wing groups, senior Karnataka minister KS Eshwarappa on Monday said any solution can be found to the issue by taking the Muslim community into confidence keeping in mind the interests of students and patients. Is. Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray had last week demanded the closure of loudspeakers in mosques.
“If this is not stopped, there will be speakers playing Hanuman Chalisa in large numbers outside mosques,” he had said in Mumbai. Stating that there is no competition to play Hanuman Chalisa over loudspeakers to counter its use in mosques, and that it could lead to conflict between communities, Eshwarappa advised Muslim leaders to see that the speakers are confined to their places of worship and do not disturb the people living in the surrounding areas.
“The efforts of Raj Thackeray or Shri Ram Sena against the use of loudspeakers in mosques should be done naturally by taking the Muslim community into confidence. There have been complaints for a long time that it disturbs students and patients during morning and evening hours.” Talking to reporters, he said that the Muslim community has been following the tradition of praying using loudspeakers for a long time. But it is troubling the students including its children and patients.
“It is not a competition for us to play Hanuman Chalisa loudly over the speakers to counter them. I don’t mind praying to you (Muslims), but because of your use of loudspeakers, if in temples and churches. Similarly, it will give rise to conflicts between communities,” he said, adding that in his opinion, it would be good that Muslim community leaders think about it and use speakers within mosques, like this Since it doesn’t bother others.
