Right-wing organisation Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) on Monday wrote to the Indian Railways regarding a Muslim prayer hall at the Krantiveera Sangolli Rayanna (KSR) Railway Station (Bengaluru central), calling it a ‘threat to national security’. The letter was sent hours after the members of the organisation stormed into the ‘prayer hall’ on Monday while people were praying inside.
HJS spokesperson Mohan Gowda in his letter to the station manager said that it is condemnable that the resting room of workers has been converted to a place of prayer by Muslims at Platform No 5.
“This is a very serious issue and a threat from the national security standpoint of view. Bengaluru KSR Railway Station is an important station in the state. Even though there are many masjids around the railway station, giving permission to perform prayers on the platform seems to be a conspiracy,” read the letter.
