K'taka Wakf Board Denies BJP Role In Loudspeaker Ban At Dargah, Mosque

An official from Karnataka's Wakf Board has stated they were not pressurised by the BJP-led state government to impose a ban on using loudspeaker in dargahs and mosques from 10PM-6AM. He affirmed that the decision was solely based on the guidelines of State Pollution Control Board over the "deleterious effects" of loud noise. However, clerics and local Imam still suspect an involvement of the BJP and have approached the board's CEO to allow morning azan.
