Summary:
Hyderabad: There were apprehensions that at least a section of the Muslims would try to say the Friday prayers at the mosques thereby creating unpleasant situations. But finally, sanity prevailed and the community refused to fall into the call and stayed indoors to offer their prayers. Many managing committees of the mosques locked out gates, in a way declaring that there would be no prayers there. Several mosques which would be seen crowded during Friday prayers were seen deserted today. They included Qutub Shahi Masjid, Jamia Masjid, Kulsum Begum Masjid, Masjid-e-Gulbano, Masjid-e-Raheem-O-Sughra Ahle Hadees, Bilal Masjid, Masjid-e-Aamera, Masjid-e-Azizia and Masjid-e-Sultan Jahan, Ek Minar Masjid and Mallepally Badi Masjid..
