Three Muslim MPs meet Amit Shah over mosque loudspeakers

The Story in Brief

Three Muslim MPs from West Bengal met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi on Thursday to oppose alleged instructions to remove loudspeakers and microphones from mosques. Aaj Tak identifies them as Yusuf Pathan, Abu Taher Khan and Khalilur Rahman, who have also skipped two consecutive NDA meetings. The MPs said they support Supreme Court rules on noise pollution but want them enforced uniformly and sensitively. They also sought intervention on the SIR issue and delays affecting citizens awaiting tribunal decisions. The MPs belong to the 20-member NCPI group, whose recognition by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla is pending.

The Indian Opinion

The loudspeaker dispute is attracting two lazy narratives: that any regulation attacks one community, or that every objection is political theatre. Neither follows from this account. Noise rules can apply to all places of worship, but enforcement must be even and lawful. The MPs’ NDA absences also reflect electoral pressure, not necessarily a final break. The real test is whether authorities publish uniform enforcement records across communities and whether the Speaker decides the NCPI recognition claim.
