In the plea, he had said, “The continuous inaction, the apathy of the State machinery and failure of the local law enforcement agencies to prevent such incidents before these spiral into a monstrosity, is precisely what had been indicated by this Hon’ble court in Tehseen S. Poonawalla case, and is thus clearly a contempt of this Hon’ble court’s directions.” Hindus protest against namaz in public For months in 2021, Hindus in Gurugram, Haryana, raised their voice against Friday namaz in public spaces like parks and playgrounds.
