AAP promises to allow road Namaz in Gujarat

India's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has made a significant campaign promise ahead of Gujarat state elections, vowing to allow Muslims to offer Namaz on public roads if it forms the government. The party also pledged that no "illegal" mosque or mazar (shrine) would be touched, a statement seen as a direct counter to the ruling BJP's policies. This promise taps into ongoing political and religious tensions in the state, where restrictions on public prayers have been a contentious issue. The announcement positions the AAP as a defender of minority religious rights in a key political battleground.
