With several Hindu outfits objecting to Friday prayers being offered in open spaces in Gurgaon, Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar said the practice of offering 'namaz' in the open "will not be tolerated".

He also said the district administration's prior decision to reserve some spots for holding prayers in open spaces has been withdrawn and the state government will now work out an amicable solution to the issue.
