A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed in Jharkhand High Court against the allotment of a separate room for Namaz in the state Assembly. The PIL requested a judicial review on the ground of whether such allotment can be done or not in premises that were constructed using public money.
"The Vidhan Sabha is constructed by public money/ taxpayers money, and in no case, the speaker / his subordinate has a right to allow such Namaz etc to be offered in the building because it is a temple of democracy, not a personal property of the respondents," the PIL stated. The Jharkhand Legislative Assembly through its Secretary-General and the speaker of Jharkhand Vidhan Sabha have been made the respondents in the PIL. (ANI)
