A young man stood on the DC office and shouted Azan
An incident took place today where a young man shouted Azaan when he went near the District Collector's office. Also, the police arrested the young man who shouted Azan.
Alleging that MLA KS Eshwarappa had spoken lightly on the issue of Azan, a protester shouted Azan during a dharna held by Muslim organizations in front of the DC office, which has now caused controversy.
The video has gone viral. The Muslim community had protested in front of Shimoga District Collector's office in the background of allegations that former Minister Eshwarappa had insulted Azaan and Allah. He raised slogans against Eshwarappa. During the protest, a Muslim youth climbed on top of the District Collector's office and shouted Azan. This incident, which took place two days ago, has gone viral on social media.
The police who were present at the place also objected to the call of Azan. At this time, there was a verbal skirmish between the police and the protestors. He went to Jayanagar police station and was released on bail by his lawyer. The police have been warned not to shout Azaan in front of the DC office
