Bengaluru, May 8 (UNI) In a move to honour the Indian soldiers involved in Operation Sindoor, the Karnataka government has directed that special prayers be held in mosques across the state.
This follows the pujas held earlier this week at various government temples, offering blessings for the safety and success of the armed forces.
The directive, issued by Minority Welfare Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan, mandates that all mosques, including those under the jurisdiction of the Waqf Board, hold Friday prayers in tribute to the soldiers. The prayers are intended to seek divine blessings for the protection and well-being of the troops engaged in counter-terrorism efforts in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
