Lucknow: Islamic institutions and clerics have urged the community members to maintain peace during Friday prayers.
The Islamic Centre of India (ICI) has issued a six-point advisory, which says that no sloganeering, protests and demonstrations should be held, before or after Friday prayers. "ICI appeals to all Muslims not to resort to any sloganeering, protests or demonstrations before or after Friday prayers in or outside the mosque. Various individuals and associations, including those representing the community, have taken up the recent issues at the right forum through right channels and the community should not involve itself in taking up the cause individually or as a crowd," said chairman of ICI, Maulana Khalid Rashid Firangi Mahali.
