Assam Assembly ne officially Friday Namaz ke liye Muslim MLAs ko diya jaane wala 2 ghante ka break khatam kar diya hai. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma ne is faisle ko colonial era ki ek aur virasat se mukti milne ka ek kadam bataya.
Chief Minister Sarma ne bataya ki yeh 2 ghante ka Jumma break 1937 mein Muslim League ke Syed Saadulla ke dwara introduce kiya gaya tha. X par apne post mein, Sarma ne Hon’ble Speaker Shri Biswajit Daimary aur sabhi vidhayakon ka shukriya ada kiya is historical decision ke liye.
Assam Assembly secretariat se jari ek statement mein
bataya gaya ki state Assembly ke sthaapna se hi Friday ke din House ki sitting 11 baje adjourn hoti thi taaki Muslim members Namaz ke liye ja sakein. Lunch ke baad hi Assembly ki proceedings dobara start hoti thi jab yeh members wapas aate the. Doosre dinon mein House apni proceedings bina kisi religious adjournment ke chalata tha.
Hon’ble Speaker Biswajit Daimary ne is baat par dhyan diya aur Constitution ke secular nature ko dekhte hue yeh propose kiya ki Assam Legislative Assembly ko Fridays ke din bhi doosre dinon ki tarah bina kisi adjournment ke apni proceedings chalani chahiye. Yeh proposal Rules Committee ke saamne rakha gaya, jiska netritva Hon’ble Speaker ne kiya.
Rules Committee ne ekmat se is rule ko khatam karne ka faisla kiya. Iske baad House ne is rule ko amend karne ka motion adopt kiya taaki Fridays ke din House ki proceedings doosre dinon ki tarah bina kisi adjournment ke chal sakein. Aaj ke din, ek history create hui hai jab is colonial practice ko khatam karke ek religious basis par society ko divide karne wali parampara se chhutkara paaya gaya.
