Congress leader C M Ibrahim has requested the Karnataka government to allow Muslims in the state to offer Eid prayers at mosques with all precautionary measures in view of COVID-19, a plea which was opposed by a senior minister saying law of the land was same for all.
In a letter to Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, he said, "on behalf of the entire community I would suggest that the government take a decision by consulting with medical experts to grant permission to pray at 'Eidgah Maidans' or Masjids from morning till 1 pm. with all precautionary measures and safety norms."
On Thursday, Eshwarappa tweeted, "Everybody knows what was the outcome of the support to Tablighi Jamaat by (former chief minister) Siddaramaiah, C M Ibrahim and (former minister) B Z Zameer Ahmed Khan."
