Hindutva workers interrupt men offering namaz in Uttarakhand

"The government has banned namaz here," one of them is heard saying.

A group of Muslims offering namaz were stopped by a Hindutva organisation in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand.

A video has emerged on social media platforms where members of the Hindu Surakhsha Seva Sang interrupt the prayer taking place inside a house, and demand their Aadhaar cards.

“The government has banned namaz here,” one of them is heard saying.

One of the Muslim men’s Aadhaar details read residents of Saharanpur district, Uttar Pradesh.
