A political debate has erupted in Uttar Pradesh regarding the issue of offering Namaz on roads. This became a significant point of discussion, especially after no road-side Namaz was offered on Eid. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, in a recent interview, addressed this topic strongly, asserting that roads are meant for commuting and not for prayers. He emphasized that if people require space for Namaz, they should follow discipline and pray in designated areas such as mosques or Eidgahs. Yogi also clarified that the comparison between Namaz and religious processions like the Kanwar Yatra is not valid. He pointed out that the Kanwar Yatra, which takes place once a year, is managed by the administration, while large gatherings for Namaz also require proper planning and arrangements. Opposition parties, including the Samajwadi Party, have criticized this stance, questioning why Namaz cannot be performed on roads when the Kanwar Yatra is allowed. However, BJP representatives have supported Yogi’s statement, saying that there must be respect for law and order, and comparing religious gatherings like Namaz and Kanwar Yatra is inappropriate. The issue has sparked heated discussions around religious freedom and public spaces.

00:00In Uttar Pradesh, political swords have been drawn for Salat on the road.
00:05Even on Eid in Uttar Pradesh, Salat was not offered anywhere on the road.
00:08On which political statements were also made.
00:11And now, Uttar Pradesh's Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, in an interview given to an agency,
00:15has said a big thing about Salat on the road.
00:19Yogi Adityanath said that those who raise questions on stopping Salat on the road have been given a firm answer.
00:26Yogi gave an advice in his interview that Salat on the road is for walking.
00:30Those who are saying this, they should learn discipline from Hindus.
00:34They should learn from Kumbh. This is religious discipline.
00:37Yogi Adityanath clarified that festivals and festivals should not become a means of punishment.
00:43Yogi advised that if you want convenience, then learn to follow the discipline.
00:48Yogi Adityanath also replied to the comparison of Salat on the road with Kamar Yatra.
00:52He said that Kamar Yatra goes from Haridwar to Ghaziabad and other areas.
00:57In such a case, it will only run on the road.
00:59He raised the question that has the traditional Muslim Jalus been stopped?
01:03Yogi further said that the size of the Tazia should be reduced.
01:07Due to the high tension wire, because even in Kamar Yatra, the size of the DJ is said to be reduced.
01:13He also said that instead of offering Salat, there will be an Eid Gah or a mosque.
01:17There cannot be a road.
01:19Yogi Adityanath has once again clarified that Salat will not be offered on the road.
01:25The size of the Tazia should be reduced.
01:28Kamar road runs from Madhyam to Ghaziabad and other areas to Haridwar.
01:33Therefore, Salat cannot be compared with Kamar Yatra.
01:37Yogi Adityanath said this in an interview given to an agency.
01:43Yogi Adityanath has said that Salat will not be offered on the road.
01:47If you want convenience, then follow the rules.
01:51If you are comparing it with Kamar Yatra, then understand this too.
01:57Kamar Yatra goes from Haridwar to other areas.
02:00This is what Yogi Adityanath has said.
02:02If there is Kamar Yatra, then it will run only on the road.
02:05Did we stop any traditional Muslim Jalus?
02:08This is the question asked by Yogi Adityanath.
02:11He definitely said that the size of the Tazia should be reduced.
02:15Due to high tension wires, the Tazia was asked to be reduced.
02:18In Kamar Yatra, the size of the DJ is also asked to be reduced.
02:26Yogi Adityanath has once again given a statement about Salat on the road.
02:31In an interview, he clearly stated that there is a mosque instead of Salat.
02:36Salat cannot be offered on the road.
02:39We have two guests with us.
02:42Vinay Singh, who is a member of the Socialist Party, has joined us.
02:47In a while, Sameer Singh, who is a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party, will join us.
02:51Yogi Adityanath is clearly saying that the road is not for Salat.
02:55Salat should be offered in the mosque.
02:57Salat cannot be compared to Kamar Yatra.
03:00Kamar Yatra is performed only on the road.
03:02What is the reaction of the Socialist Party to this statement?
03:06Mr. Vishal, let me make one thing clear.
03:09Our Muslim brothers do not want to offer Salat on the road,
03:15nor do they want to offer it in the mosque.
03:18Everyone wants to offer Salat in the mosque.
03:21But when it is time for festivals,
03:24whether it is Hinduism or Muslimism,
03:28when there is a festival, the number of people increases.
03:33Sometimes it happens that the number of people does not reach the mosque,
03:37or the number of people does not reach the mosque.
03:40This is the job of the administration.
03:42A detailed arrangement should be made for how to offer Salat.
03:46This is also under the constitution.
03:48The administration should make an arrangement for this.
03:51When there is no place,
03:53the worship of God should be performed on the road.
03:56But Yogi Adityanath is saying that you cannot compare it to Kamar Yatra.
04:00Mr. Vinay Singh, Yogi Adityanath is saying that you cannot compare it to Kamar Yatra.
04:04Because many people were raising the question that
04:06Kamar Yatra also takes place on the road,
04:08so why are you not allowing Salat on the road?
04:10Now Yogi Adityanath is saying that you cannot compare it to Kamar Yatra.
04:16Look, no one can be compared to anyone.
04:19But when Kamar Yatra takes place on the road,
04:22the administration makes a detailed arrangement for it.
04:25The administration takes care of everything.
04:28The administration takes care of everything.
04:31Similarly, when there is Salat,
04:33whether it is on Eid or any other occasion,
04:36then they know that the number of people increases at that time.
04:40Because when there is a festival,
04:43the maximum number of people go to worship their God,
04:49whether it is a temple or a mosque,
04:51the number of crowds increases there.
04:54Mr. Vinay Singh, Shalambani Tripathi has joined us on the phone line.
04:59Shalambani Tripathi, Yogi Adityanath is saying that
05:02you cannot compare Kamar Yatra to Salat.
05:06Kamar Yatra takes place on the road,
05:08and if you want to offer Salat,
05:10then it should be offered on Eid or in a mosque, not on the road.
05:13Yogi Adityanath has cleared his stand once again.
05:16The opposition is continuously raising questions.
05:18What is BJP's response to Yogi Adityanath's statement?
05:22BJP is very surprised.
05:24Those who compare, are surprised at their mentality.
05:27You compare Salat and Kamar Yatra.
05:30Kamar Yatra takes place once a year.
05:32This event takes place once a year.
05:34And when it happens, the Yatra will take place on the road.
05:37You will not take it out from any airway.
05:39So, if a Yatra is taking place once a year,
05:42to compare it with Salat,
05:44I think it hurts their mentality,
05:46those who talk like this.
05:48What the PM has said is absolutely clear.
05:50There is no doubt in it.
05:52There are many places for Salat.
05:54There are many places for it.
05:56And there is a provision for it.
05:58Many Muslim Maulana,
06:00who are religious gurus,
06:02say that Salat should be offered on a proper place.
06:04You go to the airport,
06:06you see that there is a place of worship.
06:08So, if there is a place, use it.
06:10Why do you want to show this power again and again
06:12that we want to offer Salat on the road?
06:14Why do you want to force it?
06:16And you cannot compare everything with everything.
06:18If you compare everything,
06:20I have seen that some people
06:22compared Madhya Pradesh with Bengal.
06:24So, once in a year, Navratri comes.
06:26Once in a year, Parwa comes.
06:28If you want to break the law by comparing it,
06:30then it is not acceptable.
06:32You will have to follow the law.
06:34If there is a law or not,
06:36an ambulance will not get stuck on the road.
06:38Children will not get stuck on the road.
06:40People will not get stuck on the road.
06:42We see many times that Salat takes place
06:44and because of that, the ambulance gets stuck.
06:46Vinay Singh is also with us.
06:48He is a member of the Socialist Party.
06:50Vinay Singh, Shalambani Tripathi is saying
06:52that no comparison can be made
06:54on the road of worship
06:56and offering Salat.
06:58And he is clearly saying that
07:00Salat should be offered
07:02at the place of worship.
07:04What will you say?
07:08I feel a little pity for India.
07:10Whether you are a Muslim or a Hindu,
07:12people of this country
07:14have played a big role
07:16in the freedom of this country.
07:18Everyone has played a big role
07:20in making this country.
07:22Everyone has played a big role
07:24in making this country.
07:26Everyone has played a big role
07:28in making this country.
07:30And today they talk like this.
07:32They say that there will be a Kavar Yatra.
07:34Who said that there will not be a Kavar Yatra?
07:36And when there is a Kavar Yatra,
07:38our Muslim brothers also welcome
07:40the Kavar Yatra.
07:42The people of the BJP
07:44are worried and surprised
07:46because they do not have anything.
07:48They have failed in all their promises.
07:50They want to keep Hindus and Muslims
07:52safe somewhere.
07:54They want to break this country
07:56with the politics of such
07:58corrupt and dirty mentality.
08:00Answer the Shalambani Tripathi.
08:02Are the promises not being fulfilled
08:04as the Socialist Party is accusing?
08:06The leaders of the Socialist Party
08:08should be given their homes.
08:10They should offer their prayers there.
08:12We have no objection.
08:14They should give their house to
08:16Mr. Vinay Singh.
08:18We have no objection.
08:20But if there is a law in the country,
08:22then we will have to follow it.
08:24These are the people who do not
08:26allow the Kavar Yatra to take place.
08:28Do you remember the Kavar Yatra
08:30that took place in Uttar Pradesh
08:32in 2017?
08:34They did not allow the Panchkoshi
08:36to take place.
08:38They are comparing the Kavar Yatra
08:40with the Namaz.
08:42They are comparing the Kavar Yatra
08:44with the Namaz.
08:46I was watching a video of
08:48Rambhawal Nisar ji.
08:50He has gone to a village and
08:52the villagers have surrounded him.
08:54They have said that they will not
08:56let him enter the village.
08:58They are comparing the Kavar Yatra
09:00with the Namaz of
09:02Vinay Singh and the Socialist Party.
09:04The Kavar Yatra and Bholenath
