According to the report by Rajiv Kumar Jha, the army admitted on Red Road in Kolkata Eid-ul-Azha prayers on June 7. The army has changed its training program this tradition that has been going on for decades. However, the request of some Hindu organizations has been rejected. Rajiv Kumar Jha, Kolkata. After the permission of the army, the prayers of Eid-Ex-Azha (Bakrid) will be presented on the historic Red Road in Kolkata on June 7. The eastern command of the Indian army honored these decades -old tradition and respected all religions, and decided to allow Namaz, to show a big heart and should change the important military training program. According to the army sources, the proposed training program was transferred to another place. Red Road, which is a sensitive defense property located near the eastern commando headquarters in Vijay Durg (East Name Fort William), offers thousands of people every year with Eid. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is also there on this occasion. Although Eid prayers are a religious platform, they are also used for political statements. A few months ago, some Hindu organizations also sought permission for religious events in this place, rejected by the army and the court. But in the light of Eid prayers there, the army has moved its training program to another place with respect for the tradition. It is known that on May 31, the Oriental Order of the Army informed the Calcutta Khilafat Committee to strengthen its preparations in light of the situation present after Operation Sindoor, that permission to offer Namaz on Red Road is not possible due to military training. After knowing this, a portion of the minority community in the state expressed anger. State Minister and Chairman of the Khilafat Committee, Javed Ahmed Khan, demanded intervention from the chief minister, after which the State Secretariat contacted the Eastern Command for permission for Namaz. After two days of stalemate, the army finally changed its training program and allowed Namaz Monday. A source said that the Indian army works in accordance with its tradition of respect for all religions. Permission for Namaz on Red Road is given under this tradition, but it is important to understand that this place is a very important strategic field, where army activities are related to the safety of the country. Military training is in fact very important, in fact the constant tension with Pakistan after the army operation Sindoor and the northeastern part of the country is also careful with the challenges caused by the connection of China and Bangladesh. According to defense sources, military training is extremely important to give an appropriate answer to any challenge and to use its place for another event, such as hindering army activities in such a serious time. Security must be given, priority, whether it is Namaz or any other event, it can be transferred to another place, but the training of army can be in its own designated place. In addition, many suspected drones were seen at the eastern commando headquarters in Kolkata and around important places around it, which is a serious concern for safety. A senior defense expert has made it clear that the safety of the country and preparations for the army must give precedence to every Indian citizen, which is a moral duty. The Red Road and the surrounding area are the army area and should only be used for military functions. The army’s step to allow Namaz to Red Road is seen as a positive message, which has a balance between respect and national security.
