"This is a wrong approach, mosques are for prayers...," Congress MP Imran Masood said on the Bareilly violence.:

News Topical, Digital Desk : Chaos erupted after Friday prayers in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh. Some unruly elements among the crowd gathered at Maulana Tauqeer Raza's call began a riot. Subsequently, widespread vandalism ensued, and three people were injured. Congress MP from Saharanpur constituency, Imran Masood, has issued a significant statement on the "I Love Muhammad" controversy and violence in Bareilly.

MP Imran Masood said, "There is no Muslim who does not have love for Muhammad in his heart. Without love for him, no Muslim can be a Muslim. Therefore, there is no need to show it like this after the prayers. Being a Muslim means having love in your heart. Without it, you are not a Muslim."

"Some people are inciting people here and there and spreading hatred."

He further said, "This drama is going on in the country, where some people are inciting people here and there and spreading hate. People came out in Bareilly. Why are they coming out? Mosques are for prayer. Don't be misled. When the police lathi-charge you, they feel no mercy. When the police shoot you, they feel no pain..."

The MP requested the Ulemas

Imran Masood said, "I would like to request all respected Ulemas to stop this work which is being done as part of a conspiracy. This work is not right. It is not right under any circumstances. Mosques are for offering prayers and they should remain for offering prayers only..." Let us tell you that, the police have arrested Maulana Tauqeer Raza in the Bareilly violence case.
