Muslim groups oppose prayer ban in open space in Indian state
Muslims have been offering prayers on government-owned land at 37 locations designated by local administration - Anadolu Ajansıwww.aa.com.tr
Do read up the thread on this on PP.
But in short, these were public government owned lands which Muslims had started using as places to offer namaz.
That's against law. Government land isn't for religious purpose unless permission for the same is taken. This isn't an Islamic country.
The excuse of the Muslim side was that there weren't enough mosques near by.
There were confrontations with people of other communities who protested against public open spaces being taken up for religious purpose.
Is the government responsible for providing namaz places in a secular republic? NO.
