‘How’s This Even Allowed?’ — Political Row Over Namaz at Bengaluru Airport
A new controversy has emerged in Karnataka after a video showing people offering Namaz at Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport went viral on social media. The footage has sparked heated political debate, with BJP leaders questioning the state government’s silence and Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s previous comments on the RSS.
The video, which appears to have been shot near the airport’s departure area, shows a few individuals offering prayers. BJP leaders and social media users shared the clip widely, alleging “appeasement politics” under the Congress government.
BJP Questions Siddaramaiah’s Silence
