Ghaziabad Viral Video: In a recent development in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, the hosting of a Quran Recital event within a local society has turned controversial and violent. This event, actually held to recite the Quran for a girl’s illness, flared into a hot dispute between locals and security personnel.
Concerns About Madrasa Conversion Spark Unease
Trouble began when some in the locality suspected that this was a cover-up for something bigger—a claim that the flat that was playing host to the Quran Recital Program was being converted into a madrasa. This allegation brought about great unease in society. As participants were leaving right after the recitation, a confrontation with the security guard of their society took place, who started questioning them about the nature of their gathering.
The situation escalated really fast when the guard was reportedly beaten up by those involved in the Quran Recital Program. The conflict has attracted a lot of eyeballs and is being shared significantly over social media. A video of the altercation, posted by Twitter user Sachin Gupta, shares the intensity of the situation and further debunks it online.
Addressing Religious Sensitivities
An inquiry by the local administration is currently under way to establish the facts and know the reasons that led to the scuffle. Both the society’s residents as well as Quran Recital Program organizers are under scrutiny as officials work to diffuse tension and restore order. People are commenting their views in the comment section. One person said, “Apne Ghar mein koi pooja paath kuch bhi kre kisi ko kya dikkat.” Another person said, “Bhagwaan ka naam lena bhi paap hai aaj kal.”
