Makkah masjid is one of the most beautiful masajid of not only Hyderabad but the whole India. People residing around Charminar and also those who are from far off places prefer to perform Friday prayers at Makkah Masjid but thanks to the unnecessary police bandobast in the name of security, Makkah Masjid sees a drop in Musallis for the past few Fridays. Despite the situation being normal, police is creating an environment of fear and terror. Musallis coming through Shah Ali Banda are stopped at Shah Ali Banda crossroad. If they anyhow proceed further the barricades places near bus stand obstruct their way. A person riding a vehicle cannot cross the barricades. Hundreds of police personnel, equipped with arms have been deployed.
Similar barricades and heavy police force receive the Musallis at all the four arches (Kaman) leading to Charminar and Makkah Masjid, and areas like Mahboob Chowk Lad Bazar, Madina building, Sardar Mahal. Every musalli is being videographed by the police as if they are cross border terrorists.
It must be noted that the tension sparked in the area around Charminar, following the illegal expansion of the temple abutting Charminar. So the question arises why the police is forcing the Muslims to perform the namaz under the shadow of fear as if they are the perpetrators of miscreancy?
