He said that this practice was started by Muslim League’s Syed Saadullah in 1937. Assam government minister and BJP leader Piyush Hazarika posted one. He said that the Assam Assembly has today done away with the tradition of postponing Friday prayers for 2 hours every Friday. He also said that this practice was introduced by Saadullah’s Muslim League government in colonial Assam. BJP MLA Biswajit Phakan said that since the time of the British, a two-hour interval was given for Friday prayers in the Assam Assembly.

असम विधानसभा की उत्पादकता को बढ़ाने के उद्देश्य से राज्य के औपनिवेशिक बोझ को हटाने के लिए, प्रति शुक्रवार सदन को जुम्मे के लिए 2 घंटे तक स्थगित करने के नियम को रद्द किया गया।

यह प्रथा 1937 में मुस्लिम लीग के सैयद सादुल्लाह ने शुरू की थी।

भारत के प्राचीन धर्मनिरपेक्ष मूल्यों…
