A Hindu shopkeeper’s spontaneous participation in prayers at a local mosque here has ignited a controversy, with right-wing groups demanding a formal “purification” ceremony.
Sunil Rajani, a shopkeeper in the mixed-community Mamoo Bhanja area, joined his Muslim neighbours for prayers on Thursday evening, a video of which went viral.
Monu Agarwal, a local leader of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), told mediapersons that Rajani’s actions were considered “sacrilegious” and demanded a public apology.
Furthermore, Agarwal insisted that Rajani undergo a “shuddhi karan” (purification ceremony) at a temple.
Rajani, confronted by some Hindu right-wing members after leaving the mosque, claimed it was an “impulse” and attempted immediate “self-purification” by sprinkling ‘Gangajal’.
No formal complaint has been lodged regarding the matter.
