Breaking News: Political Tensions Escalate Over Holi and Jumma Prayers Ahead of Festival | ABP News

As Holi approaches, political tensions surrounding the festival and Jumma prayers are rising. The controversy, which began in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, has now reached Delhi, with politicians making statements on how to manage both events. BJP MLA Karnail Singh from Delhi has stirred the debate by suggesting that Muslims offer Jumma prayers at home on Holi day. He argued that since Jumma occurs 52 times a year, Muslims can pray at home on Holi to allow Hindus to celebrate without disruption. This statement has sparked a political divide, with the opposition questioning his remarks. Political leaders from both sides are engaging in a war of words, increasing the controversy surrounding the issue. As the festival draws nearer, the debate is likely to heat up further, creating tensions in the region. The situation highlights the complex intersection of politics, religion, and cultural celebrations in India.
