The political controversy surrounding the celebration of Holi and Jumma prayers continues to escalate, spreading from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar to Delhi. BJP MLA Karnail Singh from Shakur Basti, Delhi, sparked a debate by suggesting that Muslims should offer their Friday prayers at home on Holi day. He pointed out that while Holi comes once a year, Fridays occur 52 times annually, urging Muslims to pray at home so that Hindus can celebrate Holi peacefully. Singh's statement has drawn political reactions, with opposition parties questioning the logic behind his appeal. The opposition argues that such comments fuel unnecessary divisions during a festival meant for harmony and celebration. However, Karnail Singh remains firm, defending his stance by emphasizing the importance of maintaining peace and allowing everyone to enjoy their respective festivals without interference. The situation has created a tense political environment, especially as the festival approaches.
