The BJP Bengal Youth Wing has announced its intention to recite Hanuman Chalisa on roads every Tuesday, till the practice of offering Friday Namaz continues in the same way, India Today has reported.
As per the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) president O P Singh, under Mamata Banerjee’s rule the busy G T Road is blocked every Friday afternoon as Muslims offer Friday Namaz which has resulted in delay for commuters and in some cases, deaths of patients stranded in ambulances.
Singh thus said that, as long as the Friday Namaz gets offered in this manner, his party too would continue to recite Hanuman Chalisa on the streets.
As part of this campaign by the BJYM, Hanuman Chalisa was recited near Bally Khal in Howrah.
