On the condition of anonymity, the journalist revealed that the news being broadcast on social media and some channels is not true. \u201cLike every year, this year also the Jama Masjid in Saharanpur was crowded as people came to offer prayers. However, there is not enough space inside the mosque. Since there is a fixed time for the prayer, the members of the mosque committee asked the devotees standing outside to return to the mosques in their localities to offer prayers. And the people went back peacefully without any protest. However, after the prayers, some news channels asked provocative questions to those exiting mosque, which led to the sloganeering. However, the matter was resolved within 7-8 minutes and the police took control of the situation. It was not a big issue at all,&#8221; said the journalist.<\/p>\n<p>To sum it up, devotees in Saharanpur did not raise chants after the administration &#8220;prohibited them from offering prayers on the road&#8221;. The slogans were raised after certain news personnel allegedly asked &#8220;provocative&#8221; questions to devotees exiting the mosque. According to the police and local journalists, the matter was resolved within minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A video of a group of Muslim demonstrators raising slogans outside a mosque is making the rounds on social media.
