BJP Criticises Namaz at Bengaluru Airport, Demands Clarification from CM Siddaramaiah
The Karnataka BJP has raised objections over an incident at Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru, where namaz was reportedly offered inside the airport premises. The party has demanded an explanation from Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and IT Minister Priyank Kharge, questioning how such an act was permitted in a high-security zone.
BJP Seeks Answers from State Leadership
Karnataka BJP spokesperson Vijay Prasad expressed concerns over the alleged approval of the act, stating that security protocols at Terminal 2 must be strictly adhered to. He emphasized that any religious activity in sensitive areas requires prior authorization to ensure passenger safety and maintain order.
Prasad said the party wanted clarity on whether official permissions were granted, and if so, what the guidelines were for allowing religious activities in airport terminals. The incident has sparked discussions on security versus religious freedom in public spaces.
Political Reactions and Public Debate
The controversy has triggered political debates across Karnataka, with BJP highlighting potential security lapses, while supporters of the practice stress freedom of religious expression. Airport authorities have not yet commented publicly on the incident.
As the discussion unfolds, both security experts and political analysts are weighing in on how high-security zones like airports manage cultural and religious practices without compromising safety.
