New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday paused his speech on the BJP's northeast triumph for Azaan or prayers from a mosque near the party's new headquarters in Delhi.
PM Modi stayed silent for around two minutes as the sounds of Azaan rang out in the middle of his speech on the party's spectacular performance in Tripura. BJP president Amit Shah had just finished speaking and the Prime Minister had spoken for one minute when the prayers began.
When the prayers stopped, the Prime Minister resumed his speech after shouting "Bharat Mata Ki Jai", which was echoed by scores of BJP workers gathered at the office.
In November, he paused his speech while campaigning in Gujarat.
Azaan is the Muslim call to worship and it is called out by clerics at mosques five times a day.
Later in his speech, PM Modi called for a moment's silence for BJP workers he said had been killed in Tripura, Kerala and other states. "Many workers of the BJP have sacrificed their lives.
