The Delhi Minorities Commission has sent a query to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs seeking clarification over a provision that allows the Muslim employees of the government attend the Friday Namaz during work hours.
The move came after a delegation of Muslim teachers in Delhi met the Commission Chairman Zafarul Islam Khan and sought his help. The delegation of teachers from schools run by the Delhi government and civic bodies said on Fridays, they faced difficulty in attending Namaz as they needed to reach their schools 15 minutes before 1 am, which clashes with their prayer time, Khan said.
"The teachers cited an MHA order of 1954 that said Muslim government employees have the right to offer Friday prayer but a deduction from their salary could be made for the working time used in it."
