Shoaib Jamai, the leader of the All india Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) delhi, has threatened and challenged the delhi administration, saying that if mosques in the capital don't have enough room, they will offer namaz on the street. This is not sambhal nor Meerut, the AIMIM leader emphasized, adding that if mosque space becomes insufficient, they will give namaz on roads, Eidgah grounds, or even rooftops.
He went on to say that if highways can be closed for many days for religious celebrations, processions, and the Kanwar Yatra, then plans should be made for the brief (10–15 minute) Eid prayers as well. Shoaib Jamai of AIMIM claimed that bjp leaders in delhi have also started making unfounded remarks regarding Muslims, including that stores will close and that namaz will not be permitted on public highways.
He emphasized that people who make such claims need to realize that delhi is a city for all, not sambhal or Meerut. They will celebrate Eid, conduct namaz, and make sure everyone contributes, he declared. Namaz will be held on the roads if mosques are too small.
Shoaib Jamai clarified his position and asked delhi Chief minister Rekha Gupta to tell her ministers not to use provocative remarks to disturb the peace in delhi, which is being watched. He emphasized that because people will be congregating to celebrate Eid, the delhi police must make the required preparations.
He also questioned why Muslims are unable to freely exercise their faith, arguing that the nation should function in line with the constitution, which protects everyone's right to freedom of religion, rather than under majoritarian control.
Depending on the moon sighting, Eid-ul-Fitr will be celebrated on march 30 or 31, 2025, as the month of Ramadan draws to a close.
