Azaan Over Loudspeaker Row

The High Court noted that the claims in the petition had no scientific foundation.

After triggering controversy over "Azaan", Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and former Karnataka minister KS Eshwarappa on Monday gave a justification for his statement saying that due to loudspeaker students are unable to study properly.

In the wake of Azaan versus Hanuman Chalisa row in Karnataka, the State government has issued a set of directions on the use of loudspeakers and to remove them if they were not authorised by the 'designated authority.'

Amid cantankerous campaigns to stop azaan (Islamic call to prayer) playing over loudspeakers, a Samajwadi Party worker in UP has decided to employ the megaphone to spotlight the runaway inflation and high prices through a popular Bollywood song.

Senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge today said every community should abide by the order of the Karnataka High Court on the use of loudspeakers in religious institutions.
