Pakistani public on namaz: In UP, the BJP government of Yogi Adiyanath had issued an order not to offer Namaz on the streets on the occasion of Eid and last place. There were also disputes about this. This issue was shown by the media of neighboring Pakistan on its TV channels. Pakistani media alleged that India is snatching the freedom of Muslims living here. On this matter, Pakistani YouTuber Shoaib Chaudhary went between Awam and spoke. However, on the issue related to Namaz, the Pakistani person responded to such a wonder that the Pakistani media itself would become water-water in shame.

Shoaib Chaudhary asked the person whether the decision not to offer Namaz on the streets of Muslims in UP of India was correct. On this, the person said that all these are useless things. The way is that people should offer prayers in mosques. We Muslims offer prayers in mosques throughout the year (Friday). Many people do not even do that, but as soon as a festival comes, we start remembering reading Namaz.

The Pakistani person said that if you do not go to the mosque throughout the year, then you do not know that mosques are small. After this, when Eid comes, you start remembering Namaz. Then you guys gather on the streets and start offering prayers. If you go to mosques throughout the year and offer prayers, then you will not have to read on the streets. If a mosque is small then it will become big. If there is no mosque then another mosque will be built
