Javed Akhtar Adhan Loudspeaker Discomforting Ban

Select Language:

Unfortunate circumstances started to prevail when not only the traditional Hindus but artists such as Javed Akhtar are also making statements against the principles of Islam.

Indian Muslims are being oppressed by the Anti-Muslims powers present in India. Besides, India consists of more than 400 million Muslims and some locals are helping out Muslims with their basic rights too.

Belonging to the Gwalior area, Javed Akhtar is a well-known lyricist, poet, screenwriter, and Indian political activist. He has achieved Padma Bhushan, Padma Shri, the Sahitya Akademi, and five National Film Awards. The renowned artist recently uploaded a tweet and requested the higher authorities to stop the call of prayer performed with the mic.

In India for almost 50 yrs Azaan on the loud speak was HARAAM Then it became HaLAAL n so halaal that there is no end to it but there should be an end to it Azaan is fine but loud speaker does cause of discomfort for others I hope that atleast this time they will do it themselves

He stated that he doesn’t have any issue with the Adhaan but, the usage of the loudspeaker may be a form of discomfort to non-Muslims. He further added that he hopes that this time they would perform it themselves.

Disagree with your opinion.
Plz. Don't pass such comments which is related to Islam & belief

You must know that we are not running high volume songs every time & playing in hands of evil

Adaan is the most beautiful invitation for coming to prayer & walk on right track of life.

These statements from him have hurt and irked many Muslims around the world. People say that these artists never express their thoughts concerning “Mandir Bhajan”. They do not even talk about the long rallies that chant Hindus scriptures however, they do have issues with the Muslims and their norms.

Why would we care about your opinion ??
Recently in Spain almost after 500 years, Azaan was called on loudspeaker in the mid of this crisis… even they are starting to acknowledge the importance…..
I feel so pity for you "Atheist "!!!!!

After the growth of the Hindutva group, the marginalization of Muslims increased. This happening led to the cancellation of the CAA bill and article no. 370. Consecutively, huge protests by Muslims took place throughout India.

Of all the issues INDIA is grappling with, and especially the Muslim community is facing with regards to discrimination, marginalisation, hatred, bigotry, mob violence and fears about their nationality, your tweet about THIS.

THIS.

Is there no limit to your Uncle Tomery!

But the Modi Government reacted towards the protestors indiscriminately. A lot of people are saying that his request for banning the Adhaan is a move from the Islam and Hindutva hatred policy.

Javed Akhtar, who was previously a Muslim, is now an atheist. He was also selected for the Parliament Upper House Rajya Sabha on the 16th of November, 2009.
