A video of two policemen conversing with a few members of the Muslim community is doing the rounds on social media. In the video, the policemen can be heard saying that there will be no ‘Azaan’ and this is an order by the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi. Delhi-based journalist and author Saba Naqvi posted the video (now deleted<\/a>) and asked, “Is azaan during <\/span>#Ramzaan<\/span> now not allowed in Delhi?<\/span>“. According to her tweet, the video is from riots affected Mustafabad. However, if one listens carefully, the policemen can be heard saying, “You go to Rohin Nagar police station and see the order”. The month of Ramzan starts from April 25, 2020.<\/p>\n

Delhi police also tweeted that while people are expected to follow the lockdown rules when they are observing Roza and prayers, Azaan may be carried out in accordance with NGT guidelines. “It is requested that namaz may be performed while staying indoors and have Sehri at home,” reads the message posted by Delhi police.<\/p>\n

While speaking with BBC Hindi<\/em><\/a>, Rohini DCP SD Mishra said, “I saw the video this morning. Actually, the constable didn’t understand the difference between Azaan and Namaz and made the false claim. Due to social distancing [norms], offering namaz at mosques is prohibited but there is no restriction on Azaan.” He informed that disciplinary action has been taken against the constable for spreading false information. He added, “No such order from the office of Lieutenant Governor has been issued. We have informed the maluvis of all the mosques in the area.”<\/p>\n

In Islamic tradition, Muslims are summoned to perform five congregational prayers (Namaz) a day via the Azaan or call to prayer. Due to coronavirus pandemic, congregational prayers are suspended and namaz can be offered at home.<\/p>\n
