BJP Slams Namaz Video From Bengaluru Airport as Karnataka Weighs Curbs on Gatherings

State officials say they are weighing restrictions on gatherings to keep the airport a neutral, secure space.

Overview

  • The undated clip shows a group praying in Terminal 2 while staff and security are nearby, according to the reports.
  • News18 reports the people were relatives of passengers headed to Mecca, even though the terminal has a designated prayer room.
  • BJP spokesperson Vijay Prasad shared the video, questioned if permission was taken, and called it a security risk.
  • The Karnataka government is considering a policy to bar political or religious gatherings at the airport to preserve neutrality, per News18.
  • Key details — including the date of the footage and whether approval was granted — remain unconfirmed, as the chief minister separately said a recent event-permission order was not directed at the RSS.
