Charminar prayer questions: BJP protests.

The Telangana BJP has issued a statement against Congressman Rashid Khan’s demand to reopen Charminar in Hyderabad for prayers.

The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) closed the mosque to prayers to keep it safe and to avoid inconvenience to tourists during prayer. Prayers have not been held in Charminar for several years.
