Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma announced the cancellation of the two-hour namaz break on Fridays in the Assam Legislative Assembly, aiming to boost productivity and move away from colonial-era practices. The decision made public on Friday, ends a long-standing provision allowing Muslim lawmakers and staff to take time off for Friday prayers. Sarma thanked Assembly Speaker Biswajit Daimary and legislators for supporting a “historic decision.” He emphasized that abolishing the Jumma break prioritizes legislative efficiency over practices he considers outdated, aligning the Assembly with a more modern approach to governance.
74% support banning polygamy among Muslims, according to recent survey.
