Bharatiya Janata Party spokesperson Nalin Kohli on Monday questioned the Uttarakhand government’s move to announce a two-hour break for public employees belonging to Muslim community on Fridays for offering prayers. “What if Hindu community says it needs two-hour break for Shiv Puja on Monday or on Tuesday for lord Hanuman or on Sunday for Sun god,” news agency ANI quoted him as saying.

Kohli added the move showed Harish Rawat-led Congress government in the state was “willing to go to any limits for the sake of votes”.

On the other hand, defending the move, Uttarakhand Congress chief Kishore Upadhyay took a jibe at BJP and said “agar ye chunavi stunt hai to dekhiye Rs 1400 crore aur 800 tonne sona kha kar Ram mandir ban gaya.” (If this is an election stunt, then you can see how Ram temple has been built after eroding Rs 1400 crore and 800 tonne gold)

Upadhyay’s comment came in context of the Ram Temple agitation, which was spearheaded by BJP and supported by right-wing groups like RSS, VHP and Bajrang Dal, to build a Ram temple in Ayodhya.

On Saturday, a Cabinet meet headed by Chief Minister Harish Rawat decided that a special break be given to employees from Muslim community from 12:30 to 2 pm for offering Friday prayers.

A silly vote seeking move. Needs to be curbed.

Correct

 

[Roybot]

Give them 1.5 hours break to offer their namaaz, but get them to stay back after office hours for extra 1.5 Hours.

 

[barbarosa]

A Good decisions for the Muslims employees.

Give them 1.5 hours break to offer their namaaz, but get them to stay back after office hours for extra 1.5 Hours.

Why should office timings be changed to suit a community.

Disgusting

Why not just give them Friday off and let the rest of us have a sunday off ?

but......wait a minute, Sunday off is a christian concept.

So Friday off for muslims, sunday off for christians and no off for Hindus.

That sounds "secular" enough.

Why should office timings be changed to suit a community.

Because they are first grade citizens in congress rule. Do you even know how heavy scholarship is being given to Muslim students? They are paid huge amount for the upkeepment of Kabarastan etc. If hindus are full and keep vorting for congress than they deserve this.

Why should office timings be changed to suit a community.

shame on you for being a communal chaddi bhakt saffron terrorist.

Muslims are "special". Friday is "special", Jidhad is "special", Beard is "special", burqa is "special", triple talaq is "special", quran is "special", sharia is "special", muhammed is "special", pakistan is "special".

Then people who maintain and service the office will have to stay back for no fault of their own.

It's another typical minority appeasement BS. They make silly adjustments and deviate the Muslim mind from the real issues.

A work year typically has 250 days, including regional holidays. That's 2000 hours a year. At 1.5 hours every week, the public loses 78 hours ever year. That's a significant amount of work time lost. It's basically a 10 day vacation for them, literally double the vacation time that other communities get. And it will unnecessarily burden the employees who have remained because it increases workload.

Remove this BS or give everybody a 1.5 hours break every Friday.

Why 1.5 hours break only on "Friday" ? ..... why not make it every working day of the week ? After all for Hindus each day is for a different ishta devta.

Right. 1.5 hours on the day of their choice. Even better.

No, instead I would work those 1.5 hours and then get a combined extended vacation for 10 days instead. Now that's fair, right? Add that to my regular vacations and I can take a whole month off. F**k yeah!
