New Delhi, Nov 05 (Al Jazeera): Hindu right-wing groups hold religious event at a public ground where the city's Muslims usually offer prayers every week.
Every Friday, Najis Mohammad would offer his afternoon prayers at a public ground near his barber shop in Gurugram, still popular by its old name Gurgaon - a satellite city on the outskirts of the Indian capital, New Delhi.
This Friday, however, he has no place to go. "Today, I am not sure if I can offer namaz anywhere," he said.
Right-wing Hindu groups had erected large tents to perform a religious function at the same ground in the city's Sector 12A area Nazim prayed at every Friday. The event was attended by a number of politicians and Hindu priests, including Kapil Mishra, who belongs to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party.
