Room for prayers in Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly, demand for Hanuman Chalisa exemption in Bihar

Leaders who want to leave the original problems and turn the legislature into a religious arena

If the Jharkhand Legislative Assembly is allocating room for prayers, why not for Hanuman Chalisa lessons? : BJP MLA

Patna: A room has been allotted for Namaz in the Jharkhand Assembly premises. As a result, various religious issues are now being raised in other states as well. Uttar Pradesh Samajwadi Party MLA Irfan Solanki has demanded that like Jharkhand, U.S. One room should also be allotted for Namaz in the region assembly.

Irfan Solanki has written a letter to the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly saying that being an MLA, I demand that a room be allotted in the Assembly premises for Muslim MLAs to offer prayers. In the Jharkhand Legislative Assembly, the same facility should be provided here as in the case provided by the government. The speaker should think about my demands.

If there is a separate space for prayers at the international airport, what is the point of doing so in the assembly premises? On the other hand, Bihar BJP MLA Hari Bhushan Thakur Bachaul has demanded that if we are allowed to offer prayers by allocating separate rooms in the assembly premises, then we should be allowed to recite Hanuman Chalisa in the assembly.

He questioned the decision of the Jharkhand government to allow recitation of Hanuman Chalisa if such a waiver is granted. The controversy, which started with the Jharkhand Assembly, has now spread to Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. The leaders have started making bizarre demands as if they want to make the assembly an arena of religion. While the basic problems of the people are such that the attention of the leaders is getting less and less.
